Yep, same here. It's been a conscious decision both times. Some superstitious primal brain remnant doesn't want me to tempt fate by mentioning how long I've been at new place, but it's coming along. Almost a complete blank slate, also in great need of rehabilitation. It's painful ultimately, bit I'd rather foster life than not. It's a kind of devotion, and of the deepest importance.

...and thanks for your interest in my name. Not sure what you're saying is more appropriate. Not sure it's appropriate to opine on the appropriateness of names (unless obviously offensive). They're the remit of the user.

Thanks. It's a slow, gradual process but always fulfilling. Latest, native violets into a side bed and attempting to help a Valencia orange by repotting. Thinking of renouncing custodianship so it can go into the ground somewhere and flourish. :'(
Truth is, the grief resounds down through time, mostly dormant, occasionally acute. From day to day, lots to enjoy. Heaps of bulbs! And a lavender that's gangbusters and chockas with bees. Thinking of expanding on that.
Wish I had space for big roses and olives! Good on you.

May I kindly remind you both that this is a roses, clematis and peonies website. We haven’t yet branched out into lavender and bulbs.
You might like to take a look at the DONATIONS box sometime - on the left, near the top.

I agree with everything you've written, except millipedes (unless you mean native ones, not the Portuguese ferals).

Yes, I'm averse to ferals of all sorts. I hear the chili thrip has reached Perth, with potentially devastating effects on rose-growing.

It would be interesting to hear how gardens in California have coped with chili thrip.
