    I have just realised it hasn't rained for nearly two whole hours: I think it's turning into summer.

    How long do leeks normally take to germinate outside?  I sowed mine 10 days ago: I think they must be growing in Australia ....

    Rained hard here all night, but lightening up now. Planted dianthus, lobelia, and some pretty frilly red lettuce called Lollo Rossa. Off to do the weekly shop later.

    It is has been raining in Wales for 24 hours so we must consider ourselves lucky?

    Pam knows about leeks- she answered a question earlier and might pop in-I have great faith so unless they have been washed away watch that space !

    Kate, the island is fairly self-sufficient--there are 2 grocery/liquor stores, a great veggie market, a pub, a class resort, harbours, two provincial parks [one of which runs a bus to the pub from the campground], and a farmers'market every Saturday. There is no bank, but several ATM machines. We have a library, school, and bookstore. I take the ferry to town every so often to stock up on meat, etc, and have a huge freezer. We have a medical center, but have been looking for a doctor for over a year- we have to make do with locums and a nurse practitioner. Dentist comes once a week.

    Maybe bad teethimage

    Penalties, sending offs, disallowed goals, all the fun of the fair.

    Inkadog- no doctor, you must all keep an eye on your health, I have not been to a bank in years, what about a post office?
