Reminds me of a line from from one of The Incredible String Band magical dittys

"Very Cellular Song"

"Turn your quivering nerves my direction"

Funny you should post this Yorkie, as I've literally just come in from the greenhouse, where I thought all my French beans were hiding - they're not there...!

I still have some three year old seed though, so hopefully, they'll show a 'bit of intent' as well, because I don't think I'll be able to buy any more at the moment!
