That's always a problem isn't it - the number of times operations are cancelled last minute - and it adds to the stress which is already bad enough for the patient and family.

Hope all goes well soon.

Do you think ths is right, on page 24 of the March issue of the K.G magazine, under the heading of "Two vegetable gardeners talking" they mention trying to find an old purple podded pea that grows to 9"-10" long.
I take it they mean the pods grow to this length, if so i just wonder if they are fishermen as well. :wink:

Morning OH. I had the same thought myself! Sounds more like a climbing bean or a runner bean....I can't imagine a pea pod growing to that size. Having said that, nothing surprises me, where gardening is concerned! :roll:
cheers!
Happy with my lot

I wondered too as we have grown purple podded peas just really for novelty value and they were just the size of ordinary pead. They had lovely purple flowers though.

We weren't too keen on the taste so didn't grow them again.

I did wonder how you managed to convince Old Codger that rats lived in 12" reinforced concrete pipes. :D

Hows that Alaskan Ice Lolly business of yours doing? :wink:

Hard luck Herbie i've fitted them all out with pink wellies, and they love it strutting about the run. I still had 16 eggs yesterday and 12 today. :) :o

Evening Old Codger,

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you this time and hope they don't cancel again.

The thought of OH in his pink skirt and wellies...well, lets just say, glad to hear he doesn't go clubbing much these days :wink:
