    Favour please:-

    I have re done my outside herb pot as most of it died back, does any one have any mint or other herbs in their garden that they can spare me a small amount inc roots to get me gonig again?

    I am happy to pay postage. I need / would like roots and top leaves only, not soil or pots to save on the postage.

    OH has 'asked for a pass out' he has gone to the pub with my best friend's husband! hence all the cooking and washing up!!

    I'll be in and out during this week and hoping to keep up with you all.


    just read your post...re the mint.........i have tons of it .........it seems the people who lived here previously didnt know it would over take your garden !!!! actually thinking about it its lemon mint i think, but deff mint would you like me to post you some through.
    im not around much so maybe you dont know me well enough :o but the offert is there, im a nice girl really :D x

    just put the oven cleaner in and the racks in the bags so will be making a start in a sec. I lost the plot at the middle of last week, i couldnt resist the sunshine:D x
