Ok i`ll own up I am quite besotted with Rocky. Strange - I never would have thought I could like a chicken so much. Always was one to fall for the underdog though.

I had one plant(over wintered) which was covered in blackfly. I pulled the whole thing out and threw it in the bin. The others seem to have escaped (touch wood). My spring grown beans seem fine at the moment.

Next day- Simmer to make sure all the sug...

My gherkin seedlings have just shown themselves and I was wondering if I should grow them in a greenhouse or whether they can go on the allotment They are on the kitchen window sill at the moment and will need potting on soon.
Never grown these before so any advice appreciated.
Thanks Seedling
