    Are you a bowler then? Our green looks like it normally does in late June/July/August but it bowls well too. No heaving them up.

    I am indeed.:) Our green is in very good condition. Noticing that quite a few have a bit of moss in them. Risks of some bare patches later in the year methinks.

    Our green is also running like july and is smooth as a babys bum!

    Lovely to start the season without shivering and moaning that it is supposed to be a summer sport!:D

    Rain is currently forecast for the weekend folks.

    Does anyone think I'm being premature in wondering why I appear to have no shoots coming through for the carrots & beetroot? I planted them just over 2 weeks ago now. I hear that onions are relatively quick growers, so is it just me being silly/confused by their growth?

    A lot of moss in ours too but it started appearing last year. Hope the rain does appear, could do with a couple of nights steady downpour really.

    MrB - every time I log on you've done a bit more,

    Thanks - I am feeling pretty chuffed with the progress - I don't see any "big" jobs that need doing at the moment. :cool: I have to say it's almost entirely down to the weather - I've just made the most of the opportunity really, but it has been quite hard work. I ache in places I didn't know I had places. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Where do you live? Look on the council website for the recycling centre (tip) - they might have some on there. I didn't know mine did it until now, but I'll be using it more often I think. :)
    I'm in Telford, Shropshire .... although I couldn't find anything on their site :( I'll have to ask next time I am there.
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    I've just had 3 whole minutes of rain. Maybe 4. Definitely not 5. Harumph.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    I can't find anything either. You can buy a composting "dalek" for £19.00 though. :)
