He sits in the position of power.

Yes, she may be buried elsewhere.

No, Turrell is new name to me.

Yes, it's possible.

Sadly, I do not have land for hedges, so no, I have them not. While I am showing some signs of improvement in my condition, my health and strength are not adequate for heavy gardening work. At the park they allocate skilled tasks to me, but heavy work is not possible.

The next-to-last subheading, Immunity, advises us that "Interestingly, it has been stated that descendants of Plague village Eyam survivors have very well developed immune systems and cannot catch AIDS. I wonder how true this is."

Might there be any statistics as to whether or not Plague village Eyam survivor descendants muster immunity against COVID?

The second paragraph to the first subheading, Hedges ancient and new, advises us that "Scholars can confidently assert that some hedges are really ancient, possibly going back beyond the dawn of recorded history. One way of telling such hedges is that they grow on top of low banks, and it is thought that these hedges used to surround woodlands that were hedged against marauding deer. The woods are often gone, changed into fields, but the hedge remains as a relic of an ancient pedigree. Sometimes such ancient hedges were simply carved from the ancient wood and allowed to grow.When this happened people took the scrub at the edge of the wood and managed it into a hedge. One of the signs of hedges like this is that they contain wild, woodland flowers, such as anemones and bluebells."

Common, roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia) vines, when thicket-like, appear bush- and shrub-like at the meeting place between the 3-foot (0.9144-meter) public-domain stretch alongside the country road-fronting east yard.

The aforementioned wizzley paragraph associates ancient hedges with wild woodland life.

The aforementioned greenbrier shrubs here perhaps assume a 20-plus-year residency alongside the public-domain stretch.

They attracted one eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) last Wednesday, April 24, another this Wednesday, May 1, yet another today even as they additionally attracted the resident eastern bluebirds (Sialis sialis) and -- each of the three aforementioned days -- one green-yellow-lighting common eastern firefly (Photinus pyralis).

Do you have hedges? If not, what might you deem the most attractive, ecological and useful?

David A. Fryxell, in The Family Tree Scandinavian Genealogy Guide: How to Trace Your Ancestors in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway (Family Tree Books, Penguin Random House LLC imprint, 2019), advises that "Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's works have been translated into more languages than any book except the Bible" (page 75).

Do you know which languages those might be?

The fifth subheading, Lanterns, advises us that "Lanterns have always held significance at this time of year. In Britain and Ireland turnips were hollowed out and lights put in them as we didn't grow pumpkins in the British Isles. As turnips aren't widely found in USA, pumpkins became the veg of choice for lanterns and this has now spread to UK."

Pentecost is May 19 this year. Your list of apples, Bram Brack, Colcannon and Lambswool might make quite a simple, tasty meal in the midst of turnip candles.

Might you have handy Bram Brack and Lambswool recipes?

It might be fun to make the apples into something where their peels matter. Might you have candied and roasted apple-peel recipes?

Would you ever have hollowed turnips for their working as candle holders?

Yes, the Chartered institute of Horticulture has a team of advisors at the show to advise the public.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Buttercups now accompany blue, violet and white violets; bluebells; brambleberry flowers; daisies; dandelions; grape hyacinth; periwinkle; and wild onions even as foam and rocket flowers are fading.

Wild strawberries generally are here, alongside wild onion, from last-week April through first-week November.

The above-mentioned wilds and their summer successors generally assure me problem-free beauty during their appearance.

Your flower show is over even as it's on the east-side pond. But may I pretend to backtrack in time to Southport 2019?

The above plants would be somewhat familiar and "typical" plant problems most likely would be solvable by those versed in cultivated flowers, landscapers and vegetable-ists, correct?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Wild fruits such as elderberries, mulberries, raspberries, strawberries and wineberries grow in the east and the west yards. Wild vegetables such as asparagus and onions grow in the north and the south yards.

Might the vegetable expert sort questions just about cultivated fruits and vegetables or might questions about wild fruits and vegetables merit sorting also?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

It intrigues me that wisdom is a "female emanation of God" in Hebrew spirituality.

Is there any other such outstanding emanations indicated as female?
