She just took me to the garden centre and I bought plants with no actual use other than looking pretty and smelling nice. But yay! Lavender! Clematis! Roses!

Did you bring them home in an Audi A3 or a VW Polo?

Chez, she didn't make you buy the plants, but agree it was a bit rotten if she know you are susceptible. At least they should grow for years and give you pleasure for a long time, so worth while.

I like lavender. And roses. There are worse pretties to buy (at least they don't need dusting)

It is surprising how some people react to gunpoint, Mistress Rose-buy these plants or the tyres get it!

Lavender and rose petals are both useful in culinary exploits. Clematis....pffff... I have managed to kill every single one I have ever planted.
