    It's strange how some flowers smell nice to some people and horrible to others. My sister hates lilies and my husband hates Jasmine. Sorry I haven't been in here, I have so much work to do and I've sneaked in while I'm having a coffee break. Belated happy birthday Luca!

    Why do you prune when the moon is waning moon Harma? I try to sow my seeds when the moon is waxing as they say it helps them grow faster. Belvedere I'm so sorry to hear about your pipes. Finding and convincing a plumber to come is difficult these days! Is there much damage? A few houses near...

    Harma you are welcome to call me Josephine if you prefer. In England Jo is used for a woman and Joe for a man. People who know me choose which name they prefer: Jo, Jose, Josie or Josephine. Do you know I have a Dutch neighbour! Are you sure we're not talking about each other! The -ing...

    Harma my name is Jo, short for Josephine. I like to go to the UK in spring and autumn for two reasons: the first is because my plants grow on their own with no need of water from me, the second is because I can pick up some great bargains for my garden while I'm there. To be honest though...

    Nooooooo.... I'm going to the UK on the 17th! I don't believe it! Whenever there is something nice here, I'm not about! Is the nursery open to the public? Perhaps I could visit when I come back.

    But tummy is much nicer! One of my cats loves having her tummy scratched. Sorry I have been busy and I haven't been in to talk to you all. Everything always comes together. I've put some new Hellebores in my garden and I have done a lot of weeding. Today I have only one lesson and then I...

    Poor Luca! I'm sorry I shouted at you! It's very difficult to remember 3rd person & also when speaking to remember to pronounce the 's' at the end of words. My students have learnt to correct each other when they forget the 's'. Love your videos! What a great man Liberese and how true his words...

    LUCA! What about 3rd person singular.

    Luca you don't need the 'it' in I know it'. 'I know' is sufficient. Of course you can use any expressions you like! Hello lads would be better than boys. There are many ways of greeting people in the UK too, hello luv is often used for women, hello mate for men. Up north they often use duck...

    I think what Melissa meant was to talk about something in particular within this thread, not start another one. Her idea was to have a topic of conversation to keep things going. Luca you can't say - boys - to cover all of us. I know in Italian it works that way, but not in English. We would...

    Luca the important thing is to know phrasal verbs exist! Otherwise you will find yourself wondering why verbs you know don't make sense in the sentence. I usually think in Italain, but when I'm angry I think in English! Melissa it is, of course, much better to garden with your conditions and...

    Hello Melissa, nice to 'meet' you and to hear the story of your garden. I grow a lot of plants I shouldn't! I love exotic plants, moisture lovers and tender plants! I overcome the difficulties by using big pots and moving plants into the garage over winter. I have clay soil so it's like a rock...

    Harma I think you're thinking of cellular phones, more commonly called cell phones. In England they're more commonly called mobiles. Another point - I don't know about American English, but we usually say our boss, not chief. We can use chief to point out that someone is the boss.

    Belvedere to try and answer your question about 'The flags of our fathers'. If the title was 'Our fathers' flags' it would be quite boring. Personally I think it's just a play of words, a way of giving an attractive title. The emphasis is also on father rather than on flags. There should really...

    I used it last year for the first time, but only in my hosta pots. They are the biggest pots I could find & the pellets were covered. I worry more for birds and hedgehogs that may eat the dead snails. I don't know if I'll use it this year. I hate to see my hostas full of holes, but poison is a...
