It's pouring down, everything is soaked (including the bench cushion, which I forgot to bring inside, oops!)
Forecast is for much the same all the day... 

8C overnight n the g/house.

My new variety is Costoluto Florentino on the recommendation of this forum.

As I already grow Stupice, Galina, Black Krim, Honeycomb, Sweet Million, Tigrella, Orange Banana (not grown for a few years and giving another chance) , Grushovka & Latah, Crimson Crush and primabella I don't have a huge capacity for new varieties!

[can anyone work out which seed company I'm a fan of  ]

I had a Cornish pasty ftf with peas and small jkt spud.

I made a cottage pie this morning and wished i hadn't as it turned out hot oh well never mind 

I bought a chicken that was reduced at work yesterday and wished I hadn’t today when I had to cook it    It wasn’t too bad as my oven is pretty good at not heating the kitchen up, but not what I would have chosen if I had known the weather would be so good.  We had baked potatoes and veg with it 

I just gave up with them in pots and grow them in the ground where vine weevil isn't an issue for me at least.
