Do you have an ology?

I have a B.Sc. in zoology  This is one of the reasons I'm keen on encouraging diversity in my garden, from deliberate additions such as mason bees, to feeding wild birds and hedgehogs, and setting up micro-habitats for spiders, etc. I was at uni with wildlife presenter Nigel Marvin, but also comedian Chris Morris (of Brass Eye & The IT Crowd fame), which may explain my sense of humour!

Oddly, given this forum's focus, I managed to dodge any botany courses (I did biochemistry instead) - it wasn't until I discovered a passion for edibles that my black thumbs turned green!

You did zoology and biochemistry?? My son did biochemistry at Exeter.

I did fashion and Designology??  I also dis a few years of by floristry part time in the evenings when the boys were babies.

SC, how can you not like it?? It made for easy wired sugar flowers for my cakes. 

What I want to be is a dahliologist. All my last dahlia cuttings died. I will try again tomorrow

Hated the one day a week training at college with lot of girlies more concerned with how they looked or who they were see with. You know what I mean.  Nothing enjoyable about dealing with those ordering funeral flowers. Nothing enjoyable about dealing with incredibly over fussy brides!!! Not much fun ( after you’ve got bored of taking the pi$$ out of the first dozen) young men ordering valentines flowers. Christmas & Mother’s Day just ridiculous busy.
apart from that it wasn’t to bad
