Flavour of the all gold was fine Primrose, I trim only what has fruited and the lower part of the canes give an early crop next year before the next years canes produce their late crop

Re: Morrisons leek rip off !!!!!

Re: Take a day off work to garden ? -

I count myself very fortunate in that I was able to retire early with visions of more free time, but I found myself busier than ever.
