While weeding my new asparagus bed I came across some young plants which had germinated from the kitchen scraps in the homemade compost I used. Ohboyohboy! free veg! Curious and eager I potted them up, watered and watched as some large leaves developed. They are definitely squash, cucumber, melon or courgette; went to Been & Queued and bought a bag of farmyard manure to bring them on.
B****y slugs have munched six of them only one left: it is now in its own mound surrounded by little blue pellets under a cloche.
I just know it will turn out to be dock or some other useless weed!
