Hello Old H', I have not used the wonder gunk that you squirt into tyres although I think some top marque barrows may come with some sort of sealant already applied??...and no doubt electronic traction control, all round air bags, cruise control etc etc. . We run much more basic barrows...and we are...

As can be seen...a bit of a tangle...when compared with the promise shown in the previously posted photo.

Hello, .....you are not alone... ...my first row went up to 7ft tall and has only cropped on later flowerings...the stems have ended up at 45degrees along the row. Similarly tall second row has a few pods..but third and fourth row all but nothing has come to fruition.... They looked full of promise ...

Hello,
I have not grown any Sarpo varieties...but out of interest the last of my crop to succumb to the blight this season was Ambo..
Merlin also held out fairly well.

I do remember a year when I was still in short trousers...er, I still am... It could have been 1967/68 when the pea viners which were then tractor hauled rather than self propelled had a crawler tractor on the front as well...I remember a school trip to the seaside at Sandilands..I don't think we go...

According to the BBC, Horncastle in Lincolnshire is under water too. Does that mean KG HQ is inundated? The flood area will I suspect be around the lower lying area of the town centre inc' Mr Tescos supermarket carpark which is on very low land at the riverside. The land rises as you head South tow...

Another 40mm rain here today starting at 1pm... Yesterday afternoon it had at last dried enough to get on the ground once more and pull the 3 prong cultivator through to freshen things up a bit...that didn't last long then It was lovely though for our evening garden walk on Wednesday and we did have...

Hello Primrose,

A quick update to my original reply...

I have been back to work this evening to take a party on a garden tour..I checked with Paul HG and he tells me that the ones I thought were Giganteum are in fact "Globemaster".

Hello, We planted Allium christophii 10+ years ago....they survived ok and have also seeded about..but in a quite nice way..although there are currently a few too many in one spot in our herb garden...which we need to remember to dig out during autumn border digging...or perhaps now if there were mo...

I noted this today....

http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/GImages/G-BMSB001.jpg Clearly an allotment photo sortie...with back seat armed with camera.. actually a photo blagged from CAA G-INFO website..but it was the one that I spotted yesterday...flown by "Major" Day.. ....it made my day Clive.

Lovely sunshine here too yesterday...blue sky and fluffy white clouds..and local Spitfire T9 too. I pulled the Wolf 3 tine cultivator through the garden..letting it all breathe again. ..more tatey tops removed first though ..and this morning it is Pea picking ..if I can find a way to crawl into the ...
