ReplyDeleteWe tend to sow and plant out a little later than you do, Mark and also not only will you be more sheltered but I am sure being just outside of your back door your plants are nurtured better.

DeleteYour allotment is looking lovely, Sue. You have lots of space and it looks nice and flat
ReplyDeleteIt is flat, Margaret and we are not short of space.
