    That's the spirit mwc - have confidence in yourself :T:T:T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Plants OUT 3 :mad::mad::mad: I spent £24 on 6 canna rhizomes a couple of weeks ago and the squirrel has stolen 3 of them :mad::mad::mad:

    I will nominate myself in the category of Exceptional Delivery; however, I'll do it as a joint nomination with a couple of US-based colleagues who contributed to the project :)

    I'm sure I know that squirrel - the over-confident one that swaggers around, but he sure has a pretty garden...

    Yes, that's the one! He's currently eating the buds on my neighbour's helianthus for breakfast...

    Maybe I should lend you my hounds for a week, although if you're growing peas they may be short lived :eek:

    Alternatives, air gun classes for the neighbours - revenue generating and ala HFW, a source of protein :D

    Self-nomination? Even the Eurovision Song Contest won't let us vote for our own act anymore (not that I voted) :rotfl:

    I always come away from your diary with questions MWC - what is 'wet garlic'?
