Thank you, Geoff, really helpful, so will give it some thought…..

Forgot to say, it rained most of the night, and is absolutely chucking it down at the moment…..never known anything quite like this!

Thank you so much for the reply, Geoff….I can visualise the set up you have, so really helpful, thank you! I hadn’t really given any thoughts to the light pollution, so this is something I will have to give some thought to, as my greenhouse is over-looked by two of my neighbours. A couple of other q...

What a nightmare of a day, Westi….hope you manage to get everything sorted!

A quick question, Geoff…..am I right in thinking you use grow lights for your early sowings?
I’ve been considering wether it’s worth getting some LED ones!

I’ve been racking my brains as to what bulb would be as advanced as that, at this time of the year so, i’m wondering if it could be a Crown Imperial Fritillaria !

Well done for keeping so positive, Westi, what a day you have both had…..

Make the dream happen, Clive.

Sounds like you have had a busy day, Westi….I don’t think we will be getting on our allotments for several weeks, with the predicted rain…..then of course, we have all the snow coming near the end of March….

Forgot to say, glad you still have your Hornby Dublo collection, Clive…

Forgot to say, I found the petrol pipe, so now fitted…..although Big Bertha took some starting, fired but wouldn’t pick up, then flooded…. It often does this when the weather is damp, maybe could do with a new set of leads and caps! Clive, would I be right in thinking, they need to be none resistor ...

Another sharp frost here again this morning…..made my fingers tingle, picking Purple Sprouting Broccoli for the Sunday feast! When you see the price of Broccoli spears, Tender stem and PSB, they are certainly good money savers….the Tender stem I grew last year, just cropped on and on, so really plea...

I have had the same sort of problem, Clive, replaced the petrol pipe on the wheelhorse ride on mower last Summer and had about a foot over….went to replace the petrol pipe on Big Bertha, as either a Rat, or Squirrel had chewed all the way along it…..but do you think I can find where I have put it….
