I'm definitely a "Stayer"!! ;) It's just a case of finding some interesting (yet hopefully informative too) topics to talk about whilst waiting for the next growing season to start again but I have a few things lined up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-22315983171999574512012-10-11T19:10:20.233+01:002012-10-11T19:10:20.233+01:00Daphne.

I think you've got more growing than I have, and I've got an allotment. My purple sprouting broccoli plants never got going, and I didn't buy any either, even though I had every intention to, so I think there's no doubt that I'm going to have a hungry gap next year.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
