Am glad its not just me failing with the radishes. I managed to grow really nice ones the first year I had the raised beds in the garden - must have been the new compost. I'm going to try sowing in a different area. Ever hopeful - I have sown some dwarf french beans.
No didnt see about a ticket, but if only 1 then t'other 2 are going to get cross & OH wouldnt be interested anyway. He's only going to photograph the plants, oh & be a packhorse when we collect our goodies from the creche! Only he doesnt know that yet!
Washing out. Not cold at all & a good wind/breeze so IF it doesnt rain for a bit may get stuff dry after all.
The zinnias are variable, I have a few huge plants, some small plants and some very eaten plants, but no flowers. The Eucomis are looking great though.

Kate, just hope the mum comes back!
Geoff congratulations
Jo I am sure that it will be lovely for your Tatton day
Lottie I have to admit that radishes are one of the vegs that I do not like
Someone yesterday was offering a ticket to a Question Time at Tatton Jo-did you see it?
Radishes were the first thing I grew as a child-I thought they were easy??
Have dead-headed,weeded ,tied up and tidied up-my work is done
A little tip-if you are going to fiddle benefits -do not present a programme about con- men-it may come back to bite you on the bum

Only came in to get the step ladders... J.
Jo will we get to see any photos?
Geoff have you been watching the news again
I have lots more weeding to do, some of those weeds have got to 6 inches in my absence.
It is on the local news as well-they love to have national stories on the doorstep
The jumbo jet stream is moving northwards to push the rain over Scotland-wee jenny & MIssB-you have been warned-we shall be basking soon
This morning has been quite pleasant, the Godetias are just about to flower, I shall put them on the list for next year.
Local news
I always wondered who watched that
Someone has too-they keep referring to this torch as if it was a living thing-the torch has moved here and there or stays overnight
What about the Zinnias?
I thought that there were hundreds of torches?

There are -perhaps thousands -they treat is as if it were a supreme being and needs tucking up at night
