My wife does things like that to me. Last time I made some up for sale, and they had progressed she then told me, she would cut of my allowance if I sold them.

I know my allowance is meagre, but I still want it :!: :roll:

Cheers :D Pup

I think your wife has good taste, there is no way my hubby would have atree like that either - as it would very quickly become MINE LOL
very nice indeed, nearly be a pitty to cover all that branching with leaves, but on saying this I'd like to see what it looks like when it buds back

Oh yes - I reckon she made an excellent choice BB. Next time you're defoliating, you'll have to hide behind a shed or something. Otherwise you might end up with none and your wife with benches full :shock: :lol:
