Hi Plumpudding,

I hope you're feeling much better now and can join in the madness here :D

Shingles is wretched Plum Pudding, so hope it all clears from your system very quickly. Incidentally, as a result of your comment about your Lemon Drop chillies self germinating over last winter, I've decided to defy the laws of nature and the sowing season and have sown three Lemon Drop chilli seeds in a pot on my window ledge. If they do germinate like yours did, they may be very spindly little plants but I will be intrigued to see what happens.

All the best, Plumpudding . Shingle sounds horrid and, I believe, makes you feel really down as well. So I am glad donedigging's belly gave you some cheer -- it's certainly moving up and down for me!

Thanks for your good wishes. A bit of sympathy is very therapeutic, along with two sunny days and getting out in the garden again, and nice to see the forum has sprung to life again.

I often pop in to see what's going on here and every so often make a contribution. This past year has been very traumatic with one thing and another and it's fair to say I will be glad to see the back of 2012.

Hopefully I will be here more often at some point. Life has a way of getting in the way of things ....this forum included. I feel I had real friends here.
Happy with my lot

Hello, Elaine, good to hear from you again - and do put in a word or two occasionally, then we know you are alive and kicking, metaphorically speaking!

I have loved reading all the comments. I have not been on the forum as much as I used to be, I have been very busy. But not on the allotment. We built a wood store on our plot earlier this year and have punched through the drain pipe which we put in 8 years ago. Did not know and now with all the rain it is flooding down our lower plot and all the paths between our raised beds are ankle deep in water. Even our polytunnel is flooding at one end. But it is too wet to do any work on the plot. I fell last time I tried to work up there. This winter we are planning to put drains in between beds and then put bark down.

On the good side, I planted some cauliflower plants late in the season and yesterday we picked four cauliflower head the size of a fist. Also we have half a dozen brocolli head which are easily the size of any in the super market. Carrots, Cavolo Nero, cabbages, ruby chard, turnips, leeks. we have not prepared it for winter, we will have to wait for a few dry days and then we can put it to bed.

Just wanted to say that as a newcomer to the forum I am enjoying all your comments. I have been a reader of KG magazine for years but hadn't got round to the forum. However, having been grounded recently due to some virus which has zapped all my energy I have not been able to finish sorting out the veg patch for winter so it's good to have the forum to read and enjoy. Keep it all coming!
