[Magdalen] More weather

[Lesley de Voil]

I think Jay said her mint was in pots. Presumably the flowering plants would also be in their own pots. I am envious that Jay can grow so many things in pots. Here it's difficult to get the right balance - too much sun and they run out of water, not enough sun and they get all leggy or develop root rot. OTOH, I have a large collection of root bound trees and shrubs that are good candidates for the bonsai treatment (I originally intended them to go out in the garden, but the soil is so poor here that they would have perished in the drought ,which, despite one cyclone this summer, is still not over.)
