About me: My hobbie is gardening and fortunatly my wife Kathy is the same.We are totally mad and work seven days a week propagating and nurturing plants to sell at the local markets on the weekends.Because of the lack of space on our 1/4 acre section we have purchased a 2 acre block south of auckland with 12000 sq foot of glasshouse growing indoor passionfruit also with 1/2 acre of outdoor passionfruit.Which Kathy has a full time job looking after.I do have a job full time and work with Kathy after work.See told you we are mad,supposidly when you reach the age of 50ish someone said life gets easier,They were either very wealthy or plain just telling lies. We do have a keen sense of humour and can see the humourous side of some of the disasters that are posted on these forums. So dont anyone take offence if I make a serious situation in your eyes a jocular thing in my eyescheers Terry & Kathy
