Rabbits in Australia are something to grumble about. they come inplagues and eat everything. if the bloke that took the first pait to Australia was around, i'd shoot him.

Re: Sometimes we think the world's gone mad just this week
Yes and always will be Pat, well I think so. I know grape vines are a pain one sees them so neatly displayed in commercial plantings. Perhaps we are too gentle with them?

but if I send my mind wandering through old history books, I find it's always been so. Thinning the fruits to produce fewer, better - I've been accidentally doing that with my grapes. Those vines grow several feet in a week and need constant pruning.

Re Ciel
Well Ciel it all seemed pretty ordinary at the time. I expect that is what the old Stone Age men thought until someone invented the wheel. Blackbirds are waiting for their breakfast and it is raining good for the beans though.

Re: FS
It does seem to be more windy unusual, I wonder if it is something to do with global warming, we seem to blame everything on that.

Yes and then grumble when they got there, My uncle thought it would be fun to shoot the rabbits, not so funny when there are hundreds of them, ironically we have an old field quite close to the town and it is literally swarming with rabbits, there are even three deer well so Archie tells me, I haven't been up there for years

Re: Naut
Hi Naut you could ask someone who grows beans in the garden, runner beans of course. It is funny really the things that one took for a normal in those days have become a kind of an antique.

Taps
Well I don't know about the beans Taps they always grow that way here. I can't think of any gardener Ozzy type who could let us know if it is the same down under. I am showing the flowers in collections this year I just twist the pot round sometimes to show those that were not prominent before.

Very interesting about the beans. I've never grown them any place other than Kansas City, so never thought about what they might do somewhere else.
I love, love, love the flower pic.

Maybe I'll plant some beans, just to see which way they grow...And I really like your childhood reminiscences...

I love those flowers. I love the info part of your posts too. So many in this modern time don't have lasting marriage regardless of how they got into them. Be blessed friend.

that is a good thing because it was pretty tough for ordinary folk. no wonder they ended up in Australia and Canadia and new Zealand and places.

Our wind in Maryland has died down. We were getting a lot of wind in March, April and May...A clever ending to the story there.

I like your stories.
it's another world, like visiting another planet, to be allowed in to someone else's life and experiences.
