Thank for correcting the Clematis photo LINK. Here is one old photo (1988) .. the
entire corner has been changed by me. I now have six Clematis
vines that I started with separations.

The shed that was at least 40 years old has been replaced with a new one.
The garden is still stuck with its old gardener however. ... While I'm
here ..here is the new shed.

2008 ... a new Shed has got me started again. Perhaps
it would do the same for all gardeners. to consider.

beachbum, this is a little off-topic but I thought I was getting old early and it turned out that dairy was making me feel arthritic. I have since cut it and meat from my diet and now, if I am really good about a balanced diet several days in a row, I actually have energy almost like what I remember as a kid! Quite amazing - and the arthritis is gone too.
I also hope to be able to garden at Dom's age. I don't want to stop.

Talking about our gardens and showing some old photo is perfect for usGrey wrote:beachbum, this is a little off-topic but I thought I was getting old early and it turned out that dairy was making me feel arthritic.

"old guys".. It's like a dietary supplement to stay young.
My first greenhouse was this one in 1968 when I was 46
and could swing a hammer and use a staple gun.

Lined with Canna Glad Giants.. and yes, even lettuce .. no kidding.
I had two other Greenhouses or Cold frames that I enjoyed.
And now at 86 .. and can order "stuff" and help by computer
I started again.
