    looking good MR BE, so hot here not much is getting done today, but did go to the Lotty and dig some more yesterday now back is back in action woohoo and planted my Brussels and french beans that were growing in pots at home. Apple tree i got off Thompson is looking stunning lovely red flowers and leaves have a hint of red so very pleased with it :) runner beans are covered in flowers and bees and baby beans and i have more chillies :) so all in all pleased here with what im achieving :)

    All sounds good. Glad your back is better. :)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    We also fashioned a windbreak behind the shed, to give the comfrey some shelter - it was struggling a bit. The difference just a week later is quite noticeable.

    There's no need. Honestly, there really isn't. :p

    I'll be grateful for anything at all, considering how late I sowed them. ;)
