I wish I could get mine to that size  ::)  :D

That's no help at all, but thought it needed saying  :nowink:

Tell me about it! Calabrese and collies - don't think I've ever got either more than about 2 inches across :wacko:

Still, I'm determined to find something that works!

They also love a feed either in dry format or as a liquid boost and is one vegetable that really likes a high nitrogen content, particularly early on as it's developing it's large foliage

Would straightforward (ie no weed-killer or moss-killer) pasture fertilizer work? It works well for my leeks

I see that according to Mum's quote he prefers to got for pot luck when choosing between "its" and "it's", not that I'm trying to be picky or anything!!  :lol:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Many people think that it's always needs an apostrophe.

It doesn't - look here if you are at all interested in this decidedly off-topic diversion   ::)  :dry:


I'm really getting the impression that JayG isn't ever going to be impressed with Medwyns advice  :nowink:

Not a clue as I used the last of the sack last month, but it's by definition very high in nitrogen

I imagine it to be ammonium nitrate with some or other additive to stop terrorists turning it into a cheap and cheerful explosive by combining it with an equally cheap and cheerful addition
