    It was I!

    I'm really happy with how it worked out, will do it again next year.

      Time. I never have enough! Tried sowing thyme but it doesn't work.

        For me, it's really been a season of failures for varying reasons but that doesn't necessarily mean that I won't eventually be able to harvest the goodies. Most frustrating has been the cauliflowers. No, not the clubroot which manifested itself in some of them, just that the season is so far behind and they are not going to be ready for our blue riband show in Dundee next weekend. I'm going to have a glut of the beggars when I don't need them.

        Big onions got botrytis, leeks cracked because of cold after warmth, tomatoes haven't ripened, carrots and carrot root fly,
        beetroot germinated and then just died off except for a few. Radish failed to germinate from new seed. sheesh and to cap it all, my show peas have around 4 flowers per stem just rotted off because of the wet weather we had a few weeks back. That's around 100 pods I won't have to choose from in defence of my NVS National Championship title. Bummocks!!

        Can I not just grow something, please, anything
