Perhaps by the time you get back The Grapevine will be up and running again :mad:

I hope you have made provsion for the parties your neightbours' cats will be having whilst you are away, esp those with opposible thumbs

I discovered where some of my terrorists were getting in to my garden last night - through a bit of trellis up the front by the garage, then using the side of my house as a convenient run to the back fence, carping on all and sundry on the way. The only thing I had to hand to block the trellis up was an old pane of glass. Seemed to have stopped them for a while. When I went out this morning, they had amassed some climbing gear, shinnyed up the fence and over another bit of trellis. That panel of trellis is now at a 45 degree angle to the fence panel. It's war!! :cool:

Enjoy your joliies

Yes. Just ignore the football. It'll be 0-0 anyway, so you'll waste 90 minutes of your life watching nothing happen. :whistle:

The tension I went through last weekend, I wonder why we put ourselves through it.

I don't have sky, & can't afford to go to games frequently. I'm a radio supporter in the main.

It is a tense end to the season though. Wild horses won't drag me away.

My team ain't a bunch o' girlies...

Off 'til Sunday. Everything should be ok, but if we get a blazing couple of days will you water the tubs for me? No, not all of you. One of you will do.

Lemon, you're in charge.

:wave:

Be back on time MrBE! I'll be off out sunday (weather permitting). Meanwhile, have a good one! Hopefully I'll have something sprouting by then...

Does that mean they look like sprouts but taste like beetroot? or that they are red:p

Beetroot flavoured sprouts would be a distinct improvement.

Back later with an update.

It never ceases to amaze me how much things grow when you're away for a whole two days.

Thanks for watering, whoever did that. :T Good job Lemon - all is well.

My dad gave me a pot of chives, a cucumber, and a pepper of some sort, plus three grafted tomatoes:



One each of three varieties, so I now have 11 different tomatoes. :eek: I've got to work out how to give them greenhouse space. Most will be outside this year, by the looks.
