You tell me. You're in charge of them. :whistle:

Don't put SN in charge of anything, she'll have you doing all kinds of strange things, like only picking them when the moon is in full 3/4 waxing mode and sowing seeds at a particular time of the month dressed only in a pinny, in the dead of the night.*




*of course if you already do this, it won't be much of a change for you.

Too late. But she's in charge, so if she wants all that malarky doing, she has to pop round and do it herself.

But it was a very fetching pinny; we did wonder where you got it from until we realised you had it on back to front. :eek:

I didn't mind the pinny tbh, but the hoe was a little uncomfortable.

Looking good Fay! :T

You seem to have lots of space?

Did you germinate the cucumbers in a heated propagator?

Spring onions and parsnips take ages, so don't fret yet.

Is a carrot sprout some kind of strange hybrid I've not heard of? :whistle:

Thanks for the pics. Now I feel woefully inadequate. :rotfl:

Not lots, but enough. I am going to take a leaf out of your book next year though and make raised beds. I can fit 2 rectangular and a triangular on the existing veg plot and we are going to add another too.

Ohhh wouldn't carrot sprouts be lovely, mmmm.

Oh lordy - you got me bang to rights guv'nor.

Purple sprouting carrots to fill the hunger gap - they'd be great.
