Spring 2012 issue: I'd like to incorporate into Panayoti's 'Seven Axioms' these: 1: Defendable borders! -perhaps something Panayoti doesn't think too much about, entire yard up in rock gardens and all but for many of us its useful. A long rectangle is more difficult to defend against crawling weeds than is a circle. Make considered use of edging materials, walls, slabs, and stone mulch! 2: Permanence and stability! -don't be planting things that need constant division or other muddling. Things can take quickly in "new" -cultivated conditions but I find the best, eventually, for rock plants are settled conditions. Crevice gardeners heed especially! This is not unlike Panayoti's #6 and once it is undertaken one need never know where the bulbs are planted. In fact, they need not even be marked.

Hi Peden

You've obviously not only received but really got stuck into the Spring Quarterly - whereabouts are you? Nice to know where gets copies quickly.
And would you like to write up your comments for the next issue for me - maybe with a pic or two.

On past performance the Europeans (including English and Scots) seem to get their copies about three weeks (sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more) after dispatch from Allen Press (it's in Kansas, Toto!). Dispatch was around March 22nd so I'd be expecting it fairly soon. And ther's a hostage to fortune!

Mine was in the mailbox yesterday - I only had time for a quick look on the way to town. Tonight I'm digging in!
