Bit fed up as waited in all afternoon for two people to show up for a lot of crocosmia bulbs I am digging up, but both let me down!
They contacted me via a Freecycle website. So the bulbs are free, you think they'd let me know they weren't coming.
Quite rude really!
Apart from that though all ok thanks
That's frustrating.
I would have showed up with bells

Did they finally sow up?
They were sown a long time ago, but no the people didn't show up.
The one let me down last night as well but apologised and asked if she could come today but no!
Its quite strange really - I'm wondering if they aren't getting my emails with the address, yet they've had the others.

It really probably is that Oli just likes the new smells and sights when he's out - as the others have said he doesn't sound sick, just needs something to catch his interest. But the big question is what?
He doesn't look sick either, thank GOD. But why has he never behaved in such a strange way before? I keep wondering.

As I said before it probably is his age and he's looking for a bit of excitement and/or action;)
Has he stopped eating something he used to be addicted to?
Maybe he's doing Cold Turtle

I've a feeling they have received your e-mail messages: you say they've received messages earlier, so why shouldn't they receive the recent ones?

Don't know - unless there's a bug that sifts through my emails and hacks personal details - the last I sent them had my address and tel no on. Hope not!!

Well, as far as his age is concerned, I have NO IDEA how old he is. All I can tell you is that I've had him for about 4.5 years.

No, he is still eating Roman lettuce and tomatoes. I'm afraid here is no other choice for the time being. But.....recently I've been feeding him cooked carrots which he loves.

There's hundreds of the bulbs all for free - the crocosmia was out of control so trying to reduce them. Or maybe they'll all go as they are poisonous to torts so will be able to offer Lola more space when they've gone. Not that he's had much chance to use what he's got this year.

Well would you believe it one of my bulb buddies just showed up!
Only 4 hours late!!
Never mind at least they've gone - better than putting them in the council tip.
Unless that man wasn't who he said he was - he may have been a composter!

Not at all. I usually try to keep a positive outlook on things, and losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me because I could go back to school. This time though, I'm having a hard time seeing the bright side. I'm scared.
So sorry to hear this. :(
