The rise and rise of #leylandii, a #botanical frak #gardening
The Leyland cypress aka the leylandii started life, rather like the Granny Smith apple, as a botanical fluke, but from the 1930s took over British gardens. There are nearly as many of them in the UK as humans and they are all genetically identical to their original parents.

However, something equally iconic rose up on the…
Many of us from my generation can shout out the line, “We’ll get a slaw-burger, friesAnd a bottle of Ski, Bring it on out to my baby and me!” to the song, “Dumas Walker”. The popular song came from the Kentucky Headhunters’ No. 2 country album, “Pickin’ on Nashville”. “Dumas Walker followed their previous hit, “Walk Softly on This Heart of Mine.” The song was written by the Kentucky Headhunters.…
