The message

from Judith in France contains these words:

Gordon, you have caused trouble for me in other groups, do not bring
it here;

The shoe is on the other foot, and wedged firmly in your own mouth.

True. Judith was followed closely into afpf by a Troll who criticised
Judith. The guy she was flirting with at the time accused me of being
the troll, because he knew I didn't like her. The headers proved
otherwise, but he was embarrassed when I ridiculed him, and went as far
as to threaten to sue me!

The arrival of the Troll made me suspect that Judith had a newsgroup
"history", and she has been in my kill file ever since.

I will merely point out, that Bobbie and Graham are keen gardeners,

Who's Graham?
Have you been seeing someone else? g

Let's get back to gardening.
My broad beans are rampant and producing plenty of flowers.
Sugar snap peas are slow to climb the support net.
Ditto with a few runners I planted out.
Cut & Come Again lettuce is bursting out of the cold frame.
Radishes are ravishing.
Carrots slow, but it's the first time I've grown them in a container.
Tomatoes, two plants surviving with large fruit trusses (MoneyMaker and
Ailsa Craig). The Alicante developed semi-transparent patches on
teh leaves, and the flowers just didn't set.

If the short Manchester season gives me enough veg, the plan for next
year is a slightly raised bed and some more topsoil.

I trust you are not contemplating actually *buying* it! With a hot box
and a wormery, you could produce loads of good quality compost
before next summer!

I have a large polystyrene box sorted out to use as a hot box, all
I need to do is molish a lid for it - once things settle down a bit, I
might get time to do it! The wormery I already have, but another
one might be in order... ;-)

My compost bin is slowly filling, but yes, - I may buy the topsoil.
(If I can't use Charlie).

Good advice Janet, one I should take myself from time to time. Was it
you who gave me a cutting, rooted, of a Yew?

Judith


More than likely Judith, I can't remember what was exactly in the stuff
I sent you!

Hope it's still growing.
