Talking of which, I think Chemical Ali was on my plot before I got it. I did some more digging today and the bit I was on is chock full of huge roots ?docks/dandelions, but there's no perennial top growth at all apart from the odd bit of couch grass. It may be a poor crop harvest

Try and talk to the other peeps on the site they'll soon tell yer

Mind you, I don't know why I say that We'll never tell the other newbies next to us what the others did

I'm sure it's ok Loops, I had hooooge dock roots - and hoooge nettles - on the 1/2 plot, and it hadn't been used for years.....

There's one old guy who told me it'd not really been used much for the 4 years the last person had it, so probably they nuked the weeds if they got out of hand. Oh well, we'll see Of course if it all goes horribly wrong, it'll be weedkiller, not me.......

t'will be fine

well its not superb yet but im quite happy that in just over a year of work on the plot it is showing a lot of potential.
Will post some more picsa later

well it looks superb to me mate!

Looking good mate - your runners are further on than mine unless they have had a growth spurt over the past couple of days.

Good for you ... something is always better than nothing!!

Looking good Colt

Mine are only just starting to curl round my canes. Haven't lost any though which is a first for me so I am well pleased. Should have a good harvest this year. Sowed some seeds when I planted out too so will end up with two per cane and some still producing when the older ones are thinking of packing it in.

I hope my plot looks like that in a year!

I only sowed my second lot a couple of days ago.
The first lot were munched before they got their seed leaves

I've been keeping the chooks confined to stop them eating the froglets that are just everywhere....but the slugs are partying hard

Its doing my back in and im only young(ish).
Got the next 2 weeks off to try and get a fence up and the raised beds finished

You and me both SQ

Looking good Colt - my climbing french beans are clearly wondering whether to live or die at the mo, I'm not quite sure why they're sulking.

They're French - what do you expect?

there'll be an 'ello on here in a bit

Tiss ok, she wont be in, shes busy, so we can talk about her to night

Colt is that Mint I see in your herb bed??? You'll have to some 'restrictive' gardening in there is you want to keep the rest!!

my mint failed to re-appear this year, both at home and on the plot as did my borage. Even a couple of well established rosemary's didn't make it through either

Fancy, not having any mint! It's just not on

i dont know what variety of mint i have got as a friend kinda dumped it on me, but im gonna try some with the potatoes tonight when i get home.

Mine was Moroccan mint (at home) and common mint on the plot. It must have got colder than I thought and it's wiped it all out. Damn I shall cadge some as someone's bound to have some. Shame about the Moroccon stuff though as it's well behaved stuff, well apart from dying that is

Spuds and mint. Can't beat it Wonder which came first
