42, it's just good drainage and sun. If you're trying French Lavendar, it's tender most years, and even more sensitive to wet.
Ma, sounds like a lovely combination. I outsource the bits I don't like doing (that lawn has to go) to DS.
Grumpy, mole was well and truly sorted,

Twisted, I think that although you said you were only interested In opinions for a friend, you came over a little evangelical. I've explained why I was unsure about the site you first put up, but for me, I have read and heard about side effects of various drugs used for cravings, and there's a reason why they are only prescribed on the NHS in very serious cases. My drinking is a problem, but it is one that is slowly responding to support, counselling of various sorts, and a will to change. I can't say how I would feel if I felt more hopeless.
