Very good Margaret, I needed a laugh this morning. The vision of and
elephant with a hab up it's nose filled the bill nicely:-)
After a touch of winter with lots of snow and ice down south. Sunny day here
by the beach but have to put on long trousers for the first time since
returning from the US last September 2nd.
The Siberian indoor peppers are fruiting well 2" long upright bright
green.fruit. The Rocottos are holding out well with lots of new fruit
alongside the old rotting ones. Maybe I should rip one out and replace it
this year ?
