I'll let you know later...!

I put some in, in August - just in the ground.   The foliage died fairly quickly so thought I'd lost them.  But when I went to clear the ground a few weeks back I found I had a crop!  So I just earthed them all up really really well and left them.

If the ground will let me, I'll be digging them up today.  Wish me luck (I might need dynamite!)
Lotty holder since Aug 09... I've FINALLY finished clearing it! On with the p.lanting  ....

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Missed that with too much catching up to do.
