Yer, you silly :tongue2:

I think it may be a King Edward plant, so as it's a main crop i'll leave it a while yet...I will take pictures of the grand dig :lol:

It feels kind of funny though, and I won't be eating them, cos I literally have thrown the vaccumn cleaner fluff ,all the green and brown stuff from the kitchen and ....you know, that, wee wee stuff from himself has been in it... :lol: :ohmy:
