sexy snail...courgette
ani....loads and loads...too many to count. I think they must be a late variety
'cos only now coming to maturation.  Got them from seeds of italy.

Agapanthus....when you said 'you grew it over a structure' roughly how big/high and what sort of shape structure was it.....could you grow this up and around a wigwam type of framework?

it was a tent frame type thing!!!  made from coppiced hazel
about 6' and 4' wide. Not really big enough...it spread over
the lottie fence and my neighbour was really
pleased with her free veggies!! It also spread in the other direction
along wires that was meant for my raspberries..(oh well next
year maybe)...to say the least it is very prolific ;D

I think that to use the post of a lovely Lady for less than lovely remarks is discourteous to say the least.
