Neil, that is a most interesting article. I do love the Prehistoric look of it. Very informative too.
Hope you and Sarah are doing well.

Dear Charleen, so lovely to hear from you we were getting concerned about you! There has been so many lovely pictures put on both cubits it is hard to keep up, and we have a new forum on Cottage Gardens that seems to be popular! I hope Charley is well, but you really need to teach him how to prune.
Regards.
Neil.

Yes, he did a wonderful job on my Wisteria this Spring. I will join back up. I'm being bad but didn't think I would be missed but I will come back and show you some of my beautiful flowers.
Charley is very well and is ready to 'prune' anything in his way. Thank you for inquiring.

Awesome article Neil and awesome pictures as well. I like reading your articles. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

Wonderful photos, they really capture the curiosity of the plant

Dear Maridell, thank you very much. They give me great pleasure to see them a lot of times everyday, and are well worth the effort to look after. They do not just produce new fronds in the spring, in the summer they continue with some as well. I will keep taking some photos so people may see them as they emerge, as many people have never seen them do that, and to me it is fascinating!
Kindest Regards.
Neil.

A neighbor divided his fern last year and gave me some. They took a real beating in all kinds of weather after I planted them, and I was unsure if I would see them again this year. I kept going where I thought they should be - anticipating something to show up. I finally saw the brown knuckle like nubs and thought SOMETHING is happening yea! Happy to say they are looking healthy...and it was fun watching them come up.

That is Fantastic news, i do hope you get as much pleasure out of them as I do, and indeed my little Article helped!
Regards.
Neil.
