    It's my first time as well kate, as with everything. I'm not expecting a lot. And there's only me and Jess, so no bumper crop needed. Only cost me 50p for the seed potatoes so no big loss really. image

    I love being busy Pam! Enjoy.

    figrat, I take it he wasn't wearing the tin foil hat. That would have protected him! image

    Kate - I have a go at rooting anything - it has two chancesimage  I have been taking cuttings of trailing geraniums,variegated geraniums and scented geraniums. This afternoon it will be white and pink marguerites image Then it will be plectranthus,sanvitalia,brachycombe,felicia,verbenas and anything else I fancy image

    Took Bloke out for full English which we had on a table outside in the sunshine. Almost felt continental! He's got his arm in a sling contraption so I had to cut up his sausages and bacon. Going to be a long couple of weeks...fortunately my car's automatic so he should be able to drive that, which leaves me with the huge 4WD truck. Hey ho. @ insomnia - I harvested a couple of kilos of teeny spuds from plants which must have grown from my compost, I never planted them! I just left them to it, didn't do any of that earthing up stuff.bet if I tried to grow them I'd fuss too much.
  • Figrat, hopes he is OK, men don't always do pain well, do they? Oh! The joys of A&E on a Friday evening!



    I'm off to the recycling centre with my 3 trugs of my cuttings back and a quick look round the market.



    Have a lovely afternoon all.

    Thanks Pam. image

    figrat, you're probably right. I'm leaving them to it really. I filled the containers and have left them .

    Anyone know what this is?? It likes my potato plant! Thought it was a green ladybird, but looking closer, it isn't.(Just below the big flower bud)

    My Cauli's are infested with these buggers. image

    First is a shield beetle, second probably flea beetle.

    Cheers figrat! I actually meant the caterpillar in the 2nd pic.  image Bloomin things are eating everything! Found them on my peppers as well. Greedy sods.
