I've not seen or heard a Cuckoo this year either

I remember the last cuckoo I heard...
.
.
it was midday and I was walking past a antique horologists shop where there was a asylum of them

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.

Grandad them climbing beans look like knotweed to me haha

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

Must be this thread - weeding tonight to the sound of the Cuckoo.

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.

The day sanity dawns for me will be the day I give up and depart the mortal plain.

I don't do 'sanity'

Very sorry about the lack of posts from me, just been so, so busy......although you all might be quite pleased...

We've missed you, OH. I thought you might be sunning yourself in tropical climes ........

Shortage of dust here - 34.29mm and counting.
Wonder why there is a reservoir just over the hill from us?

Rained all day yesterday and yellow flood warning for today, who was the one who said their soil was like concrete

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.
