        It better had be after all this!

        No idea - at this rate several years, although I suspect that the truth will be sometime next year.

        I now toss all the failures down in one spot in the garden. I prick out and grow on all sorts of weeds, but sometimes there is something in there that germinates late. I stick with a fair few things though, let them dry out, get cold and then start again. I have now been told that smoke treatment speeds these up considerably.
