The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

left side of the greenhouse, dwarf(not) French beans are climbing well, tommies are pretty much all in flower and there's buds on the peppers and chillies too.
I planted these at the same time as some more outside, those outside are barely knee high, sweet corn is growing strongly too.

Aye I grew them last year outside, tasted delicious, though the missus was upset they lost their colour when she cooked them.

I'm growing dwarf French beans out side this year and three different colors ,green,yellow and purple, the cobra which I normally grow outside I'm growing in the pollytunnel but only around eight I should get enough beans off eight to feed a family of sixteen if the one I grew in the tunnel last year is anything to go bye

It's a kind of magic,
A kind of magic,
One dream, one soul, one prize,
One goal, one golden glance of what should be,
It's a kind of magic,
One shaft of light that shows the way,
No mortal man can win this day,
It's a kind of magic,
The bell that rings inside your mind,
Is a challenging the doors of time,
It's a kind of magic,
The waiting seems eternity,
The day will dawn of sanity,
I can live in hope of you lot improving can't I?
Went to the eponymous your concert at Wembley in 85.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

The day sanity dawns for me will be the day I give up and depart the mortal plain.
I don't do 'sanity'

Much needed proper rain here too, the rivers are rising, better get the Salmon and Sea trout gear dusted off ready for a fresh run of fish.
