It seems that my introductory post had errors in it and has been returned to me. To be honest I am not sure what I did wrong but hope this one gets through. I spend half the year in Normandy, France, where I have a large garden that keeps me busy. I grow veg, fruit, shrubs and herbaceous plants. Most of the garden was only planted 3 years ago so there is lots to do still but eventually the soil will be covered and it will look fully established. Mary in France
