The message
from Des Higgins contains these words:

Thanks also, for the nice offer Rusty!! I am giving up on chillis for
now. Every year I try them and do them too late and they hardly get
going before it is Autumn.

Doesn't matter - chillis are perenniel.

I am already 6 weeks late this year. I
should get them started in Feb, indoors and into greenhouse in April
or something like that. This year, I am just going to do tomatoes. I
have my eye on some Black Russian (cannot remember variety) among
others.

Be prepared for disappointment - they're not black. Last year, mine were
a slightly darker than red colour. If I get round to it this year I
shall try to cross-pollinate some with black nightshade and see what
happens.

I'll send you some - no need for sae.

Might be able to find some seeds of longer, milder chillis too.

Doesn't Prince Charles grow those as well as black sprouts?
seriously, I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Judith

Didn't see any there last year. ;-))

I forgot, you and Ray went to Highgrove lucky you. I'm sure I read

We went in summer so we wouldn't have seen sprouts anyway. It's a
beautifully organised veg garden, I must say and the walls are lined with
all sorts of fruit. I seem to remember lots of cherries.

Does anyone know what this is:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/treetop...os/3398304087/

Many thanks!!

I'd put it as one of the Cerastium family (Mouse-ears). Without knowing the
size it's hard to be definite, but Field Mouse-ear has larger flowers than
other sp, at about 12-20mm diam



Hi cupra, another refugee from the weather group? I think it's a white
campion, myself. Is that the same as cerastium?

Petals too deeply divided and too narrow for white campion. Same family
though. I'd go with the stitchwort identification.

And on Friday I did notice some in flower in a hedgerow near here. I
couldn't stop but it looked right.
