    I already put that Dove, although YOU did spell it correctly!! I occasionally get a stabbing pain in a toe, (usually in bed) last for seconds, doesnt hurt again, weird.

    Dove, it's nothing like how my feet feel after dancing in 3 1/2 inch heels.

    Hubby says to me a couple of days ago, had I planted a plum tomato in the bed with spuds, er no, of course not! In the bed with the main crop, you couldnt see it before because of the dense foliage, yup there IS a plum tomato happily growing! Last year I grew dwarf beans Annabel amazing crop couldnt find the seeds this year (NO I didnt save any) One popped up in my peas, AND a pea has popped up in the bed where my tomatos are this year!

    Red gooseberries yet to pick. All the remaining blackcurrants got picked yesterday and are now in freezer, ready for purple porridge in winter.  I have a tomato plantgrowing in the middle of the row of french climbingbeans. I assume it came out of the compost  I sprinkled on with the fertiliser.

     Sister in Law says the potatoes I planted for her in Wales are doing well, it has achieved the object of smothering the entire veg patch with green to suppress weeds. They have been well watered by nature. Whether there are many tatties under there, well we will see.  I think another trip to wet Wales may be on the agenda.

    Hi all.

    Non sexist welcome.

    Cold, wet and windy.

    Hosta, could be a Morton's neuroma, see your GP, or a podiatrist.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
