Default What is it?
I have five large brassicas in one bed and cannot for the life of me think what they are?

Any ideas?

good point, well made.

I'm sitting here doing a bit of work, but waiting for the weather to decide what it's going to do ... I need some spuds, and they're a 3 mile bike ride away

I waited until noon for it to stop raining on my day off, then jumped on the bike for a five mile bike ride to the allotment. Managed to get loads done.......then cycled home again.

Now I'm knackered!

Clearly an embarssed cauli - you need to fold the leaves over according to the books. A naked cauli is a blushing cauli.
