I couldn't furtle today as my gander bag is leaking. However when the grunge comes upon me, spritely and with style, I shall grommet.

Nice one

i did cheat a little bit i planted them on 20/1/10 in a cold greenhouse otherwise i wouldnt have any ready either but i still dont want to pedal to london thank you Learner even if i could thats a long way to go for fresh peas 

[boosh]

I must admit that I had no idea what "furtled" meant....another lesson learned.

Look where goodegg is gardening 

It makes an awful lot of difference to harvest dates 

Doh! No longer jealous! We ate new potatoes tonight with roast duck and cherry sauce. They were delicious!

You really do need to keep your paws off for now - give the little dears a chance to get going 

But.... I know how you feel.  Butter at the ready!!

My early potatoes are the Swift variety which are supposed to be ready about now, so "furtling" was legitimate!  The other varieties aren't ready yet though.

'pologies - you furtle  whenever the mood takes you   

Still think the interesting and chilly late Spring will delay us all.......

I had a furtle today too.

My rocket were about about the size of a tomato and covered in scab again 

Next year NO spuds ! and I mean it this time.

[goodegg]

Lardman scab is nothing to worry about it should scrape of when you scrape the spuds its caused by light soil and dry conditions ,Wilja is a resitant variety they are second earlies put plenty manure or compost where your going to plant your spuds and pick an area with out lime and you will get good spuds

I'm new at all this and "furtled" for the first time today.  Result: marble-size potato!  Nice to know they're doing their thing, but a wee bit longer in the ground required I fear
