Got beetroot, onions, peppers, red cabbage, tomatoes and sprouts on the go myself.

You may do this already but if not it's worth doing.

Get a a water sprayer and spray the trusses and tomatoes when they start coming through it makes a difference. And also try keep the leaves moist.

Chillies taking longer than I hoped but spring onions and potatoes are very nice!

tred very carefully round the whole rhubarb situation,if you grew any at home, or your family did, especially during the 70's, perhaps on the back of the popular sitcom the good life which many of us watched with absolutely no interest in the vegatables,dialogue, or tom good, who was a wuss and would never have pulled barbera in wakey.

best not mention it!

Whoosh

As for rhubarb I can't stand it. Used to get sick of the site of it when it was the rhubarb festival. Rhubarb this, Rhubarb that. I have seen enough of it to last me a life time, same goes for sprouts at Xmas time

What else was interesting about The Good Life apart from the veg growing?

the intresting dilema between self survival and using the economic work ethic model.
the latter only being acceptable to buy barbara a rather well fitting black dress for a slap up meal and an overnight stay in a swanky hotel, with tom the wuss, who probably took a book to bed. i was only about 13 and frankly the book would have been able to wait.

its my life. leave me alone in and dont disturb me.

There's nothing that beats a good read at bedtime, at least that's what our lass reckons.

Mine too!

I'm more of a dvd man at bed time (aswell as a few other things ) working my way through OFAH at the moment..

The Bill hasn't been the same for me since the days of Beach, Bolton, Deakin, Carver etc, etc...

Not a fish man at all, can't stand the stuff, give me an Aberdeen Angus pie anyday over smelly fish! Well into burgers at the minute Asda do some cracking ranges. God I eat unhealthy..

Last time I ever post that I'm quiet and bored at work too, straight after that I didn't stop til home time and was rushed off me feet.

My favourite places for lunchtime or breakfast time treats are Subway, Greggs, Sandwich & Co and a shop in Featherstone just round the corner from where I work and near the Tote bookies of which I'm a frequent visitor..

There I think I've covered everything, back to the wii fit. Need to with my diet..
