with my allotment this year? I chose a bad year to start.
It is throwing down with rain as we speak, Again.
Might get a few courgettes as they love big rain. But some of them are
like conjoined twins.

Oh Tina, I am so sorry. I have no words to help because I am a complete
novice but I do feel for you

Thanks, O. A little bit of sympathy helps when I am feeling so discouraged.
Onwards and upwards again now.
We were going to do such wonderful things, feed a family of six but hey, I
gave my sister in law the radishes, and the first carrot yesterday (not
quite ready I plucked one to see) but she sowed them and she is more of a
newbie than you but I kept my peas for myself.
I absolutely *love* peas. My mother said it was because she had a craving
for them when she was expecting me. Interesting theory. Glad it wasn't
kippers and custard (colleague had this craving whilst pregnant) !!
