Struggling with the passage and I know its hard to help I guess some of them could be weird

can you throw anything my way - rest are normal ones

[bookwormer]

smouse, thank you so much for all your help!! I think I've finished the passage, although there is one I'm mot sure off. Here's a few of what I think are the most obscure I've found as a thank you for your answers!

good king henry, ti, ling, birthwort, weld. If you've got those already, I'll try some more!

[smouse]

Thanks didnt have any of those so one good turn etc

Duke of argysll teaplant

[bookwormer]

You've been a brilliant help, finished whole thing now, Not sure how many more you're stuck on in phrase, but here's one or two in case! - arum, fig, pear, (ERS is in a list of plants I have but can't find it in dictionary!) Thanks again!!

[smouse]

I had those but thanks

I just need one more so thats not too bad.

I feel there should be one on this line

[bookwormer]

I haven't got anything on that phrase either! I tried loads of posibilities, I wonder which one one haven't got, round had a shop I've got 3, ash, hop and pine, is that any help?

[bookwormer]

sorry, forgot to say, haven't used lawn.

[smouse]
