Dear Zena, the first time i heard the Cuckoo was early in the morning, maybe this is why you havn't heard it yet.

Dear Primrose, i would say people will be quite jealous when they see them flowering between your beans.
They should look quite gay.
It must be the very mild winter that we have had, why they have germinated, or your exceptional green fingers.

I forgot to tell you all, i get about a bit.

Dear Jopsy, it's probably just as well you never had a camera with you, can you imagine if the bloke had asked you why you were taking his photo, you would have had to say, you look like someone i don't know.

Thanks for the offer Peter.

I can honestly say, i haven't laughed as much as this in a long while.
The maps are definately earlier than 2005.

Dear Lizzie, i have to say i'm a little bit rougher and readier than Leslie Philips.

Dear Ray, we are not ignoring you, but sometimes it's very hard to give an answer on something when it dies. It can be one of many causes, or a combination of a couple.
Lets just hope it's not something nasty like honey fungus.

Dear Alan, i haven't seen that ariel photo before, i live just to the left of the allotments.
I think that photo was probably taken about ten years ago, going by what washing is hanging on the line.

Dear Brenjon, i was wondering if it could be something to do with them coming out it to the natural sunlight. My beans sown outdoors seem to change very little in colour. I hope there's no one being clicky on here, but i must say i didn't get an answer to a compost topic i put on here the other week.

Well i have learnt some things about myself today, told you all i lead an exciting life.

You should read the book if you can, it's rather sweet, but the ending is a little sad.

As for the photo, NEVER.

You old softie Malk.

Dear Alan, very clever indeed.
This is the book i took my name from, the character just seemed to suit me down to the ground.

Dear Chantal, fancy being the leading lady.

I think even if i was a miserable so and so, you lot would make me smile, but since i'm not, i just have to smile more than normal.

Dear Andy, i was a bit late getting my stuff in this year with the wet weather we had earlier.
Stuff is starting to move now, and my parsnips are coming up like cress.

But i think i might go to the Lakes next year and see if this helps my crops.

Dear Granny, glad it worked for you.

Dear Chantal, sounds as if you need a hunky fellow to do that digging for you.
