I wish either of you could remember the name of the black grass.
It's astonishing!

Mouldy it could be Ophiopogon planiscapus Nigrascens ,check it out in google
20 Apr, 2013
Snap, San! I was just looking for it on the RHS site and it has an AGM (Award of Garden Merit) - I bet Mouldy wishes he hadn't asked for the name now - bit of a long name to remember!

Thanks guys.

Is it a deliate grass?
23 Apr, 2013
No it's a strong hardy grass mate, out all winter under snow as well...
23 Apr, 2013
That's good news, but not for footie, no? Lol.
Just thinking...black grass, white ball, viewers chucking the remote at the telly, thinking the colour was wonky. ;-)
24 Apr, 2013
Lol yes mate :-))
24 Apr, 2013
Did removals, decades ago, & wound up a YTS telling him if he didn't carry a telly level the colour would pour out of the valve. Lol.
25 Apr, 2013
Lol we had one when I was a mechanic told him to go to stores for a box of sparks as the grinder had run out :-)
25 Apr, 2013
LOL, Surrey!!! Never heard that one before.
Ahhh, the simple joys of bamboozling & belittling young folk & kids, eh?
Striped or tartan paint, skirting board ladders, sky hooks, long waits, left-handed screwdrivers...
Some enterprising person could have made a fortune, if they'd opened a shop & sold that sort of merchandise.
Could have charged a premium for embarassment saved, too! ;-)
26 Apr, 2013
Lol yes the old long wait haven't heard that in ages :-)
27 Apr, 2013
You had a long wait for it. Ouch!!!
28 Apr, 2013
Boom boom :-)

Blimey, there's an echo in here...echo in here...echo...echo. ;-)
