Thanks Sally! That makes sense! I was wondering if you'd found a cucumber that wanted to be a tomato.

Cheers!

A bit of a thick blonde question. So it prunes off the ones that sneak out of the pots, then you get more root growth, but doesn't it then get too congested? Don't the holes get blocked by the 'pruned' roots, leaving the others go round & round like normal pot bound plants?

Wow impressive Sally! That is indeed a thorough answer and very informative. Can I ask you about the cucumbers? When you gently push down the vines do you just leave the lower part on the top of the soil or push them down into the soil? I do OK with cucumbers in the greenhouse but they can overtake ...

I was the only one down at lottie today too. Was lovely & sunny and 5 degrees. I got cracking on the strawberry bed. Removed the timber frame to stop the woodlice nibbling the fruit this year & managed to clear the bed & have a nice wee bundle of baby runner plants. I was amazed how many...

Pa, You are truly amazing! I'm with the others thinking we might be saying Happy New Year again next year. I agree your positive spirit & obviously the allotment is great medicine! I note everything is about 'mindfulness' in psychological, palliative & religious supportive help now - guess w...

Funny Primrose!

Well Pa - who said you can't have a beach hut! Go for it! Hmm Willow! Might have to get a paint swatch to check whether they do an indoor paint colour like it, thinking I'm liking it more than the Wild Sage I chose for the lounge, & the country cream instead of brilliant white for the wood work....

I'm pretty speechless! Really? And can someone explain the 'and may contain nuts' bit? And there German as well so can't excuse the translation from Chinese.

Hi mr-cecil!

Been on youtube too looking at growing peanuts, but will visit & check out these pots on the next visit. Still very undecided on their value but willing to have a bit of an experiment if you can DIY them! Not sure what to put in them though, but may get inspiration from the videos.

Just had the fog & sea mist come in down here, it actually never lifted completely all day. I can currently see the houses opposite but not those behind them. I do like the way it softens the street lights & gives them a halo. Rain coming Sunday so will have to nip down tomorrow to cover my ...

Agree Monika! OH??

That's going to be a more exciting trip than taking the cat to the vet I would think Robo! Make sure it's very secure!

Are they really re-usable I wonder? I wonder if confining the plant that much it bulges out a bit & would distort the pot for future use, they say they are just recycled plastic, wonder what the grade is?
