Title: Sunday Telegraph Magazine

Only just got arond to it.  Very inspiring about our sort of gardening.

Only thing that bugs me is Terence Conran (sorry SIR T!) smugly lording it over his bug-free cabbage patch. How does he keep them like that without protection. Or something worse.??

Yep Tim, not a holey leaf in sight ??? Not believing it's been achieved without.......what? hmmm, think we should be told!

btw Tim, Do the Sat & Sun DT have the same magazine, do you know? I never seen the Sun one, but that's in my yesterday's mag.

lol about catching up....I'm still catching up with all the Sat. supplements Wednesday night - before the paper collection on Thursday. Which is why I don't get a Sunday paper!....gotta rely on you to post the best of the cu recipes - know you won't let me down :-* just taking a breather before the next glut arrives.....poss a week? Still, have found 3 peeps who're going to be grateful for a cu or two......but then there's 3, 4,5,6,7 & on & on to deal with :o  SO thrilled with my cucs. !st year of growing, imagine that? I'd always thought they were greenhouse plants.....wrong there, then, for starters.....

The way to get an impressive bug-free cabbage patch is surely to keep it covered, then whip the covering off just before the photographer arrives!

I cracked open the first jar of the cu relish that TIm recommended from Delia last week.

We now have half a jar left  ;D ;D :o

Think I shall be making more *very* soon...
