    went down to my allotment yesterday to get some worms from my compost bin to go fishing:fishing::fishing: and noticed that I have tomato plants 6ins high:wow::wow:.Chap next to me has them with first flush of flowers so he has made a small indoor greenhouse out of some window sashes just to see how they cope .

        Yes Zigs,caught plenty of small Perch about 35:yes::yes:,it was just one of those days.There was a match on also,I got next to the chap who won with 2 small carp.When they finished and were waiting for the weigh in him and 2 of his mates had a walk down to have a chat,1st question was what bait were you using we got fed up of seeing you pulling fish in. I said nothing but worm from my allotment :dbgrtmb::dbgrtmb: as they just ignored anything else,while we chatted I got one about 1/2 ld and said that's the biggest I've had today.

          The Brambles are coming back into blossom! At this rate I'll be picking blackberries at Xmas (done that before).
