Glad the wanderer returnsDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

I love the scent of the Daphnes, mine smells like proper expensive perfume. Odora I think. I have always wanted more but the cuttings just don't take.
i haven't been to see if the box has started to flower but the honeysuckles have (fragrantisima and winters beauty I think), both white, highly scented and next to the path.
lovely to see just how much is starting to show promise for the spring.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++
