I'm staggering my sowings. Might sow direct soon. Just need to source some 5metre stakes. Not sure what happens when they get to 6metres though  :D

I heard that the new wind turbines are as high as 12 metres or more.  Do you think they would give enough support for your beasties Poultrygeist?

Mine went into my mini propogators today. Cant plant direct yet as i don't have any netting so my chooks will just dig them up.

Tempted to grow sunflowers with runners around them at the moment. A wise move?

I'm trying to avoid sharing the nutrients with anythign. You need to feed them every week or so which implies that every bit of goodness makes a difference.
Unless you want to lose of course !  :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2:

Oh these won't be the competitive ones rob. Just for show. Of course they will still beat your pitiful efforts :)

Save me creating a runner frame.
