Re: Plants for a 'port garden'?

Re: With the Graham Stone Terraces 2011

As the date in question is my 52nd birthday I think I should be one of the 2 friends invited. I also notice thatr while invited friends are to keep you out of mischief, there is no mention of any restrictions on mischief making by friends. Sounds like fun!
