Luckily, we had a very wet winter in the UK, and water restrictions imposed last year ended a couple of months ago (depending on area). No hosepipe ban here. But, I hear you say, you wouldn't expect one in England. Just been to film a garden west of London (Maidenhead) where the Sri Lankan owner is growing bananas. Outside. Planted 7 years ago as a two-foot plant, it's now 6 times that, and a huge blossom has appeared, with three-inch long bananalettes behind it. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
