Title: think someone is watching over me
Post by: RSJK on May 13, 2005, 17:50:03
Hi the other people that have allotments by me think that I must have an halo above my head.  The reason being the other morning all there potatoes were frosted, but as you can see by my pictures my are fine.  No protection was given to them.

And here's me worrying like mad because mine are up too much to earth up any further! They are looking very well...when did you plant them? I'm not  too far from you, just the other side of Hinckley.

They were planted on the 17th of March, the first 3 1/2 rows are rocket.

Know what it is Richard!  Sheer determination, you won't let anything stand in your way.  You make us all feel overawed!  7 Lotties!  You feeding the whole neighbourhood, must be the time to start market garden stall at the local market!   :D :D :D
