Thanks all. I am way better at this gardening thing than I was, but still I am more of a technician, than someone who can 'read' a plant and tell what it needs.
The long suffering Sean still gets phone calls from me like "Plant X is losing its' leaves. What is wrong?" Answer is stuff like "It's winter", or "When did you last water?"
Oh well, one learns a bit more each day, and then muddles through.
Cheers,
Mike
