well, I'm just outside the M25 to the NW of London, and we must have had about 2 inches last night... I know it's been very dry recently but I'd...
For those who haven't found it yet, here is an invaluable tool for planning forays into the garden during a British summer !...
I think it's the yellow courgette "goldrush" with the problem.I grew it last year very successfully.
JWKI think that sounds good advice John, thanks.They are in a new patch this year and the soil is a bit thin and does drain quickly. I'll...
