[QUOTE=shillelagh;1272585]latest update ...
by the way .. i have lilies in pots as well .. i was out last night watering em all .. and spotted the dratted lily beetle .. so a warning theyve come out of hiding .. picked em off and squashed em .. stood on them not with fingers .
Oh, you are awful, I am glad that I go by the name of Taddy and not Lily.
In regard to things growing I have really struggled this year, I bought some of this new "Peat Free" Compost in February, planted climbing beans, Brussels, Tomatoes in seed trays indoors, of which none germinated, I tried again a month later, again no show, as a last resort I re-sowed them in good old peat based compost and "Eh Up", I finally have lift off, it will be in late June before they are large enough to transplant and put in their final positions but hopefully they should catch up.
Unfortunately with my health and my good ladies health sadly declining I don't think that the allotment will be a viable proposition next year; I am typing this after returning from Beardwood Hospital after having a (Brain Scan) and before anyone else says it, Yes they did find one but I will have to await the results to find out in what condition it is in.
