I think I'd still sink a large pot into the gravel area, just to keep it under control.

Re: Clear the plot for winter or keep growing?
I’ve got some kalettes, which last year lasted for months. One PSB survived the slugs, so hopefully we’ll get a bit of that in Jan/Feb. Leeks coming along nicely too. I only have a teeny plot, so can only grow a little.

Re: Having one of those days!
Yes, we are! We have a robin that chips away until we feed him, he is often buzzing around in front of the door trying to get our attention. Also the doves pootle up the patio looking for us.

Re: Egg Shell Identification
1” wide? That’s quite big, I was thinking pigeon or dove perhaps. Is it white or blue? Hard to tell.

Re: What is this and how do you look after it?
It’s a Yucca Myrkk. Also can be a houseplant, but can survive outdoors. Mine flowered every years for a few years, but it got too big and I had to remove it.

Re: Are you insane?
I love scram eggs! We have one of those speckled non stick pans, I think from Lidl. Nothing sticks, I think it's classed as ceramic.

Re: What raspberries are best?
I can recommend Joan J. We had these at our allotment, and some were moved to my parents new house when they moved to Dorset. they are thriving, huge and abundant berries, which taste great. Fairly rampant though, so beware!

Re: Late Summer Bit and Bobs.
I hope it's not strawberry chafer grubs Westi? I've had to bin all my starwberries as it was getting worse each year, and the grubs overwinter in the soil. Mine were all in large buckets, so will disinfect them and start again from scratch.
