Ok we are looking for some comments for our Last Word in our November issue if you fancy taking part.
How would you sum up your growing season in 10 words?

Mine might be... Slugs invaded and ate the first sowing, second and third

Or as an alternative it could be....Nightmare, slugs, flowers, courgettes, sunny times, sowing lots, great tomatoes

So it can be a sentence or just random words to sum it up.

A good start, sadly spoilt by destructive and greedy pheasants.

Mixture of plots with fatally flawed to fabulously fruitful storylines

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
