Well, there is an old saying 'Patience is a virtue, catch it if you can.  Often found in women, seldom in a man.'

You are sort of the exception to the rule.  I should have to say, this time of year it's difficult to curb your impatience. ;D ;D

Ah, well in my defence I was pondering on what to have with a bit of steak so I suggested to my other half that it would be enlightening to see how Rocket spuddies grow. All in the name of education see  ;D There was enough for 3 meals for two out of it.

I've found Rocket to be watery new.  I'll leave mine - if they re-grow after that frost!

If you are desperate for food, then you have to do what you have to do.


Pity to pick and eat anything before it is ripe though. Potatoes smaller than a hens egg have not had time to develop taste.

I am sure what you had provided you with the nutrients you need to survive.
