    Might take a day off digging and just do some cleanup instead.Don't really feel ambitious today. Has anyone grown Malabar spinach? I have a few in pots in the greenhouse, but they are not doing much yet. Guess it's still too cool to plant out the Lablab beans. Both are an experiment this year. Lots of basil potted up, but still inside. I have a pot still going from last year on the windowsill.

    @Geoff cannot believe you still have the palms, how tall are they?

    @figrat what are superbikes?

    @wintersong sounds like you have had a productive day

    @Inkadog, you have just reminded me to sow basil, thanks.

    MC won 2-0, MU are up 2-0, roasties are in the oven. I am looking forward to the final of Homeland tonight and some warm weather tomorrow.

    Thought I would take some "before" photos-but don't know what happened to the captions. That's a banana slug, by the way---and not even a large one!

    Goregous pictures Inkadog, thank you so much for sharing image

    I always cut my flower spikes to ground on my Euphorbia characias wulfenii, (don't know about others) but they last so long, I'm generally not in a hurry to reomve them

    I have just read in the paper that potato prices are too rise this year as it is now too wet and planting of the main crop was or is delayed  .

    So a few weeks back it was too dry and prices will rise, now it is too wet and prices will rise-constantlyimageimageimageimage

    Do slugs taste like chicken?

    Geoff today is max 9 and min 5 tomorrow is max 14 and min 10, huge improvement, I may not be able to garden in the rain but the plants will love itimage If the palm trees are 4 inches after a year when will they be trees?

    I am off to cook a slug, review later.
