do you have greengages

Sorry for delay - I was watching Le Tour !

No, for some reason my parents did not plant a greengage plum tree, just mirabelles; have plenty of pears to look forward to later on, williams, conference, and two other type (one reddish one) but I don't know the name.

Could plant a greengage though, I usually plant one tree every year on the 4th November.- just a custom but I have so many trees already that the leaves in Autumn are a nightmare!

Didn't anyone else watch the tennis this afternoon?

Hi, Rossim!
I've been out - only recently returned.
I am about to watch the Davis Cup NOW - I recorded it - so please don't tell me the results!

Hi Elle
I deliberately didn't post any spoilers!

Hi Rossim and Doglet!
I've just finished watching the recording of the tennis - have you watched it yet, Doglet? I won't make any further comment - not on the score anyway - in case you have yet to see it?
But didn't you find all that drumming by the French very annoying? I know they were quiet once play started but it was very intrusive non- the -less.
They even did it between points whilst the players were still on court. I was rather surprised that it was allowed?
I ended up watching with the sound turned off because the persistent drumming was doing my head in - Goodness knows what it must have been like for people sitting near the drummer!

I didn't have the sound up very high but agree with you that the drumming was irritating.

Hi pigale
It has been raining since late last night so the garden is getting a bit more water.I have always wanted a Damson tree but have never managed to track one down,I am going to Kew gardens this week so will try and get someones advice though my daughter say at my age I should not plant a tree!!!

Morning Doglet,

It still has not rained here, apart from a small shower that only made the atmosphere feel more humid. Everything is very dry and many cereal fields are still going up in flames - so sad for the farmers.

To my mind, there is no age limit to plant a tree, they are the future of the planet, and I personally do not plant them just for myself but almost as much (if not more) for future generations.

Yannick Noah did a song a few years ago called 'Aux arbres citoyens' in which he encouraged (along with the Green Party (politics), everyone to plant a tree if they could. Many schools encouraged their pupils to do so by showing them how to plant a tree in the play ground of their college. I thought that good! no?

I do agree but so many trees are chopped down because the new owners dont want them,I have a home for my Monkey Puzzle tree.We have a garden full of mature trees so we get a great many birds but our neighbours just have a lawn with a shingle path very boring How are the kittens
