Jackie, it's not bragging if it's true. Congrats on the spuds! Nice going!

Well done Jackie, and the good news is, that wonderful feeling never goes away, no matter how many years you do it.

I've been waiting for my late planted Dutch Iris's to flower for ages and despite the foul weather, my wait was rewarded today by a single bloom It doesn't take much to keep me happy

Perfect!
Everything was late going in this year, so still nothing to pick yet, but the strawberries aren't far away
