Very Funny! It's like that in our house with the new kitten - she walks under the legs of the older ones while they are eating & helps herself to their food! They get in in a flutter trying to hiss at her, eat quickly or jump away as kitten's reaction is to arch up in defence but since she is un...

That's a worry if it turns out a true fact but thinking about the journey of compost in bought plants it passes through quite a lot of places until we take that that plant home. As it lives in still water would probably be somewhere with tanks 2 hold water that are not used much.

Clive - they look fab! I was punch proud of my crop this year but they are rubbish compared to your beauties.

Just got my first 2014 catalogue today! Seems too early as choosing seeds is what I like to do during hibernation & I'm still cropping & things are growing. As tempting as it is to have a peek through it I will be leaving it for a while yet!

Busy! Busy! Busy! So many functions & nights out this month - I'm not sure I'm popular or making up numbers, but as they are all on school nights as well I know I need more sleep for a start (or less work)!

Plum is laden again most just starting to ripen fully but lots eaten already. (Not Beauty not one fru...

THE PERFECT HUSBAND Several men are in the changing room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello" WOMAN: "Hi darling, it's me. Are you at the club?"...

Another couple of weeks would have had the perfect melon! Maybe!!

Checking out the squash & found this little beauty hidden away in the leaf growth - I know how could I have missed it?
I always plant out one melon of various types under cloches etc but although have had success nothing as good as this little ripper!

Oh Tigger - that sounds a lovely mix of onion flavours - love all alliums! Will try it in pots - & see what happens as I don't have a shady, damp spot but do have a shady spot & a big pot in a tray of water may well work! Anyway seeds were free - nothing to loose.

Thanks Everyone! I have no damp shady woodland either home or lottie & with it's bad reputation will leave alone in the ground! Might do an experiment in a pot though just for fun then can cut off the seed heads - kidding myself really as it won't make it until that point as it won't get watered...
