The Skills Exchange has found another treasure! It's in the shape of Flora M, who is so talented that I can guarantee she is going to be kept very busy! I made use of Flora's horticultural skills yesterday when she expertly trimmed and trained my vine that had uncontrollably done its own thing over the past few years, producing more leaf than fruit. Now, after Flora's no-nonsense approach to it, I am hoping for a bountiful harvest this year! And because the plant had wandered so freely, we were also able to steal from it two freshly rooted portions that will now be added to those Flora has already planted in the Shared Gardens. Flora also gave me loads of advice on how and when to prune my apple trees. Thanks Flora for a wonderful afternoon.'
