[RSJK]

Was going to plant a couple of rows outside today but had second thoughts and going to wait another week

1st sighting of a Red Duke of York (in bags in the garden) Woo hoo!!

[Barkie]

I put two Arran Pilot in 12" pots to get them started and bung them in the bottom of the cheapo plastic greenhouse overnight, warm weather here so one is showing and the compost has cracked on the other. I put another in a sack yesterday.

[cornykev]

Four Rockets up in the tubs, the ones in the ground are no shows so far.  ;D

[manicscousers]

ours in the ground under fleece are up, will see about the tubs tomorrow  ;D

[zigzig]

Right then.


I just harvested mine and a load of chips to go with the fish we got from Ace's trout farm in the Isle of Wight

If was Fish and Chips to die for

Mrs ACE does a curry sauce to go over the mushy peas like you wont believe and they all said that my forced rhubarb and ice cream defied criticism as a pudding

[cornykev]

Did u go back in your time machine for them.    :P    ;)

[manicscousers]

Spuds in leaf bags all 3" tall monday, earthed up with another 4" of compost  ;D

[Poppy Mole]

My Arran Pilot are up

[1066]

the Sharpes Express are showing through  ;D

[calendula]

my arran pilot hasn't taken off yet - must have jet lag  ;D but am sure the recent rain will induce flight

[cornykev]

They'll be off like a ROCKET, u just watch.  ;D

[shirlton]

5 pentland javelin up under the cloche

[lottie lou]

Yay, a couple of my rockets have taken off in the dustbin.

[cornykev]

Two of the Rockets in the tubs have just been earthed up    ;D
The one with a mixture of manure, council compost, leafmould topped with soil is really getting going   :o
The manure one is 2nd best   :D
With the leafmould and the c/compost one are both a few inches above the soil    :)
The ones in the ground are still a no show     :'(
                          ;)

[galina]

Had a peek under the cloche and the Witchills are up to and looking good.

[shirlton]

Think Tones gonna earth ours up today

[BoardStupid]

Just earthed up the rocket in pot. Very strong growth

Just been told by OH that I have 4 descernable rows up at the plot too so will take a gander shortly  ;D

[Mortality]

3 pots of Pentland Javelin going strong ;D
