Looks like a cloustered hidden garden. Anyway, hope all goes well Sussex. I'm going for gold and everything in this week . Fck the frost. Jok. lol yea my plot is rough around the edges just like its owner Planted out some kale today and red cabbage. Had few plants to spare and gave them to my mate. His words of wisdom was I will keep them in the pots until next thursday when it rains. He all ways works with the weather and rightly so too unfortunately I just have to do stuff when I can The calabrese seem happy in the no dig bed even the gnome is smiling where's the best place to get some of that good bird netting , cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
