Hi Tony
Obviously FAR TOO LATE with my request.  That'll teach me to keep in touch with the Forum more regularly.  But it sounds like all your troughs have gone to very good homes where the plants will have a better chance of survival than with me.

Gosh - these posts have crept up on me. I have promised my mum one. Diane Clement has expressed an interest in the light-weight one, but it might be more trouble than it's worth moving it long distances? That leaves two Liz (I have emailed you), as seen in the third picture.

Angela, how nice you got the troughs.... dare I ask how Derek's bad back is now:-\

Yes Maggi I was really pleased to get the troughs and they are planted up lovely.
Derek's back is much better, still not 100% . He is going swimming everyday and has started a yoga class.
He hasn't played any golf as yet. :-X
Thanks for asking.

Angie,

Best wishes for your husband's recovery.  Having had back problems myself in the past, he has my sympathy.  Hopefully he's on the way to a full recovery. 8)
Cheers.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your wishes. He is much,much better. I suppose this getting older is a rude awaking to the two of us.

I suspect heaving troughs about wouldn't have helped? :-\

Many, many thanks, Tony, for the present of the plants when I called to collect the 2 remaining troughs (one for me and one for Diane).  I'll try not to kill them over the winter and might try to plant your trough with NZ plants - might be quite appropriate don't you think.  I wish you and your family all the very best of luck for your new life and will keep my eye out for your posts on the Forum.
Liz

No problem Liz. Off to a car boot sale tomorrow. Needs must, as they say.
