Sounds like just the thing to help me... if only I could remember where
my garden tools are... come to think of it... where is my garden?

Sounds

We both find ourselves groping for plant names sometimes and that never
used to happen! Just normal 'old age' setting in, I think/hope!

If that was altzhimers then you would remember the name but would have
forgoten where you had put the plant.

 

er........  What sometimes infuriates both of us is that someone
mentions the name, we recognise it but can we think what the plant
looks like?!  This happens especially at the start of a new season,
after a quiet winter.  As to forgetting where we've put a plant, well,
sometimes it's not so much forgetting as things getting moved around
when we're space-hungry. A new tunnel is going up this winter and new
Mypex outside standing has been made, right beside what was my rather
pretty lime tree 'avenue'.
