I'll bring the baskets and a Schnaps on account of the cold nights. Elsie Cid,

The rosemary is still in situ until I pull my finger out and re design that part of the garden. Miles Cid,

We'll need to time it by the light of a full moon.... I'll provide the surveillance goggles. It's obvious to me that Miles has booby-trapped the whole area, that's why he keeps falling over and there'll probably be laser beams. Now would be a good time to watch Entrapment before we strike :) Cid Elsie,

(I nearly said private quarters but thought better of it :) ) Subsequently we'd all like to know what happened to the Rosemary you landed on some weeks back? You can be sure Chez Cid will be serving asparagus by the bucket load as soon as the local stuff appears nearby. What with the famous yard being largely taken up with exotic kale and tropical flora, there's just no room left to grow it or indeed time to tend it, alas. Cid Miles,

I believe that the aspargus favoured in Germany is white and as you say, appeares everywhere during May. It used to be extremely expensive due to the way it has to be harvested. However, prices have dropped due to imports. Nobody wants to work those fields any more. Good photo. Elsie Miles,
