You checked on me, I see. :lol:

I might have many character faults but lying wouldn't be one. :nowink:

The other week, Monty Don advised cutting back all the leaves on strawberries at this time of year. Never heard that before and don't do it myself. Although I do give them a good scrub up in the spring to remove all the old dead leaves and stems.

I'm sure you would not, and are a man of integrity, but I like to find out more information about anything that surprises me.
Strawberries are not cruficerae and I thought that club root only affected that particular family.
In fact there are quite a lot of other plants which harbour club root mentioned on that site.

 :unsure: I cut the leaves off with shears after fruiting (I think I must have read it somewhere) and now have a second crop coming on, flowers and fruit, which I've just moved under cover  ???   Where's Grendal when you need him?

Not heard that about potatoes before, just as well I've changed my mind about where they're going to be moved to  :D

I was only joking, flower. ;)

Of course, one gets interested. Yes, there are. I just remember those, that I'm growing.

Hard to believe, but sometimes I even wear skirts.

A woman, who is a man of integrity. And a man enough to admit when she is wrong, etc. :lol:

Sorry, gobs... but I know how you feel as I have also been mistaken for a man.
I think it might be due to the fact that I usually wear dirty mud coated trousers and boots. I feel that this is quite normal on an allotment. Heels would only sink in the mud.
I do also wear a skirt, but only on special occasions.

Oh, no. I do not even notice such things regularly. My native language is sex neutral. So, I more like mix the she/he...
