Gardening & Growing thread

Thanks for the good wishes.

Rugby, well where to begin, England won't be ready to do very well in the World Cup, Borthwick and his team just might sort things out for the next WC if the RFU don't interfere, which I think they will.

Tigers, well a new coaching team, some new players and I really don't know how it will go, hoping for top 4 in the league and a go at the final at Twickenham for the pay offs(that's not a spelling mistake).

They, a bit like England, are not ready to challenge in the big boys cup, I don't expect much in Europe this coming year. We have a heap of really good lads coming through from the academy, guys like Martin the two Chessum brothers, Illione have the potential to go a very long way in the game, those who figured in the England U20's should also step up, The Manz brothers, Finn Carnduff, all names you might hear of in the future, we are finally using the product we make ourselves instead of trying to buy a team, which did not work.

Good to see Tiger Burnie back-always fair minded( like all of us on SF 😉)

Just shared a soft chorizo laced baguette prior to a croissant for a late breakfast over here…..

Some decent weather forecast for Wed/Thursday Wil - that will get you in the zone.

It always amazes us how things change due to location in the growing fraternity. We have experience growing veg in Kent at sea level and here in middish Wales at 650 feet & its a total different World. Having said that this season has been our best ever. Carrots and parsnips doing well & our Swede are huge with still 6-8 weeks to go before harvest. Had some lovely sweetcorn yesterday for lunch, tomatoes now ripening well. Sweet peppers are slower but will perk up now that we are getting some warmth returning. 

I'm with you on the raised beds. Being an enthusiastic gardener I have found that I have become quite manic about weather forecasts.
