Hi Bill, I've been swimming too, in the sea for two days hand running, in the Mediterranean, we're on our jollies on Costa Dorada. Main reason is it's close to Barcelona which has been on my hit list for ages.
Hope you soon get a date.

Hi Bill, did you imagine me doing handstands ? {rofwl} no chance of that anymore, must be a local expression, it means one after the other, so I went in the sea Friday and Saturday. We return on thurs lateish. Barcelona tomorrow, got the train sussed today for an early start. Kidney acting up so resting today. I like it to be chucking it down with rain at home when I'm away ! Enjoy the Indian summer.

Very respectable amount there Bill )t
I grew some once but thet were very open, looked pretty though :-D Isnt there something about if the soil is loose round them they dont grow right.
Ilove sprouts though and eat them out of the pan while they cook, my daughter thinks im wierd.
In fact when the horse were on a farm that grew them when the first lot were picked i used to buy a stalk and just have a plate of them with some gravy )eat( Lindaxx
And then there was one, Again!!!!

Hiya Linda

Yes you are right ground needs to be fairly compact for tight sprouts ,same goes for all cabbage family ,else they grow loose.
Not a great lover of them Wendy likes them ,but apart from xmas dinner wouldnt bother.
Bet you were fun to be around after a stalk of sprouts {rofwl}

Does it resemble anyone we know Linda )w(

Think the secret with brocclie is to catch em before they start to flower,one day ok next in flower so keep a carefull eye on it )t'

Courgets are so obligeing ,growing on a compost heap as with marrows and squashes will give you a good harvest,can see you will be well away next year )t'
