    After the first cut and a quick tidy. Looks like a good year for the Camelia & Rhododendron.

    camellia looks very healthy - did you use ericaceous compost or feed? (or just naturally acidic soil)?

    No compost or feed, just a bit of ash after I have a burn up. Not sure what soil I've got but the Camelia certainly seems to thrive on neglect.

    Crikey wood ash is alkaline and Camelias are supposed to be acid loving. Whatever you are doing seems to be working beautifully though

    I seem to be quite lucky with our green friends, this Dracaena was half an inch tall when I got it from Tescos.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You need the right soil and unfortunately we do not have that here. I planted a Camelia when we moved here, 15 years ago and it's still only mid thigh high. Got some nice flowers on it this year which we rarely get as the frost usually hits them.
