Lurkers aren't a problem when you have thousands of flowers already. In fact I'm needing to hire a few lurkers in to calm my whole bean project down this year.
Any recycled lurkers for sale that can be grafted on to my runaways ?
I've also got a worrying list leeward since the last big blow. Any niche market products for that ?  :)

I suppose I could email you some, Victoria!

Do you have a 3D printer?

Its all growing without a care
Lurkers, lurkers everywhere
Oh good grief, what's to be done
This is war the veg have won   :ohmy:

Calm down, calm down...

Sgt Wilson, lock the doors. Corporal Jones, stop panicking, and Pike... PIKE - take that thumb out of your mouth, you stupid boy!

Its OK you saying that Mr G, but maybe those who are not panicking just don't realise the seriousness of the situation  :unsure:

Plot visit tomorrow so who knows what is lurking in wait for me  :ohmy:

Rumour has it that a lurker did sneak into the harvesting bag yesterday at the plot.  He's around somewhere, but keeping a low profile.

Let me know if you spot him  :ohmy:

I always wondered what happened to Despicable Dan, News!

He's obviously the smaller one hiding behind the bloke with the two black eyes! A Lurker in anyone's book that one!

(Don't tell DD, he'll go berserk)!

And don't get me started on cucumber lurkers.......I've had a bumper year but there's always at least one of them that ends up being a zeppelin or in the case of the "small" whites which are round......a planet.
Well....maybe a slight exaggeration.....(tee hee)

We had a whole truss of tomato lurkers, Vietta!

They got behind a fixed cane in the greenhouse, swelled as a gang, and broke the glass at the top!

I had a few spare tom plants left over as well, and rather than chuck them, we planted them next to the manure heap.

I've never ever seen so many side-shoots appear so quickly - many of them are bigger than the main stem, and I only left them for a few days - well, a week or so perhaps...

VP - if it's for your beans, I thoroughly recommend Gooser's "Propa-props" which have been tried and tested to withstand Force 9 gales (no laughter please). They are made from rust-resistant material and are guaranteed to last a life-time, the terms of which are fully explained in the accompanying disclaimer. Although the print is rather small, those with good eyesight will no doubt get the gist.
If it's regarding your leeward list after the last blow, try to avoid alcohol and play your pipes windward!  :lol:
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
