    I've run out of big plant pots, I wonder if I should have emptied the paint out first?

    Looking good John,

    You'd be better off with a limewash bucket, doh:DOH:just realised, you've got the best PH balance for cabbages with your 98% pure calcium carbonate soil:DOH:

    We're in trouble now:runhills:

    Gulp!

    Looking (too) good John! It's even more scary hovering over the pic and seeing the words, 'Click the image to open in full size' ...even the photo is bigger than my cabbages!

    Steve, the pheasants decided they liked them.

    We had a few little seedlings so they went out a week ago and are doing quite well.

          Marley! Oh err :)

          Last night I planted my first batch in their final positions, they had outgrown their last container, they really needed to have been in the ground ages ago, I'm having a job holding it with one hand:[​IMG]
