Like the picture ged.

The last one I saw of you, you had a beard and were a tad thinner in the face.

You look very well mate.

That's called 'sniping' - bloomin nuisance.

What you can do is to put what you'd be preared to go up to should someone else bid.

ie - You bid £4, but click that you'd go up to £5. Then if a sniper comes in at £4.500 with literally 10 seconds to go (using a special software), they won't get it.

:-D *kats dancing around the pc*

picked my first tomato today! and my second. well kind of.

they were looking a bit orange the other day so i just waered them and kept my eye on them but tody i touched them and they fell off the stalk. so i bought them in.

of 4 plants ive got 2 tomatos. on one of the plants the toms have been eaten by something :? they have chunks missing out of them....nearly half the tom gone!

on another, the orange bits are met with a dirty 'ill looking' greeny browny patch which covers a third of the tomato. not sure what that is.

on the third plant, theyre still small (about 1 inch) and green, so im keeping my fingers crossed for those ones!!

and as for my peppers, theyre green lumpy things protruding from the flowers so im just leaving them be for now.

we will see. im soooooo excited about eating something ive grown all by myself!! (yay)

best wishes to you all

kat
