okay...but don't buy what I bought cos I'll be sharing them with you anyway Cool

been round to the plotments man and he says he's 'had a word with her' and she's promised to ring me tomorrow or saturday Confused

(I'm sat here munching blackberry muffins by the way Laughing

)

the plot is in Chislehurst and is three minutes by car Cool

I think our one is next to the horses, who apparently get a bit lonely so feeding and petting them is encouraged.
Sophie is VERY pleased Rolling Eyes

I shall make her grow her own carrots to feed them with Wink

Just find one that is labelled as being early and hope for the best. I struggle with Butternuts but I have not tried and early one yet as I am still using the seed Debs bought me from Wilkinsons years ago!
