Did you wait for the flowers to appear?

Coz i wonder if i could pic my first lot?

[manicscousers]

no, the flowers are there, just showing but I was 'earthing them up' and some just seemed to fall into my hand , have a gentle scrabble, you can always earth them back up  ;)

ME: "ALFIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! WHERE'S MY ASPARAGUS GONE?"
ALFIE: "IT WAS AN ACCIDEEEEEENT! SORRY!"

[manicscousers]
