Well long n short of it is I have now full 20/20 vision n can see a black fly from a mile away. Yippee
Next medical problem is intermittant itch on my back. Gone mad scratching. Gonna go n see doc but not big mouth Mr Maurino.
Back to gardening problems.
First job is to dig up those damn dahlias which tubers have been spreading all over the place n put them in a large tub when weather improves
Next jobs are all thought out well in advance.
This year will be the year of crysanthmums which is a very neat clean ornamental flower. I ordered exhibition prize winning from a very reputable expensive nursery. Here iswhat they look like

Flaming June Cryanthmum. This I got already delivered in a big 3 litres pot. I gonna sub divide it in to bout dozen pots. These ornamentals are all meant for Dr Rosie/Sandy spread. The gardner has prepared the bed for them. I sent him two pallets of compost bout 80 bags sufficient for flower beds as well as creating a bowling green
For conventional gardening I am going for new runner beans to cover the repaired remodelled fence


Dennis sent me some Cheokee toms seeds. I gonna call them Cherokee Dennis. I have sown them as there were not that many in a 3 inch pot. If they germinate they will go in a tub and on roof along with others which are still to be sown in two weeks time. This year veggie will be Cherokee although they are not that prolific. I am thinking of gettin some French Marmandee beef toms to go in to ham burgers. May also sow some Cos leuttice.
Those who know me should know that I am essentially an experimental gardner. The reason for growing exotica is that they dont demand or require space. So I have already got three specis to experiment with to see if they grow. One is Custard Apple. the seeds I got from Thailand altjough it does grow in Spain. 
The second one I got the seeds is Winter Wax Melon which is full of cyanide and Bleach! This poision is taken out by cutting up the melon with gloves on so as not to touch the skin and dunk it in a barrel full of lime which gets rid of vile stuff in it. The cut pieces are soaked in sugar syrup to make a world class Indian Candy you ever taste. This candy is a speciality sold by sweet sellers in and around Taj Mahal to American tourists and is known as PETHA sweet. Do try it if you ever come across it on your travels.
The third is Piper plant vine from Borneo, Mylasia. This vine plant is subject of extensive research as a mild sedative.
Well guys that is all I have for you. You all have a good day
