Lettuce, spinach, chard, coriander too.The sunshine is forcing stuff to flower too soon unfortunately.I'm growing potatoes in a bucket & also in a sand bag. There's plenty foliage & I've kept topping up the soil.......but when is it time to "harvest" them ? is it when they flower or have I made that up ?

I'll be harvesting some soon so will find out.Yes, when the flowers start and the stems start to die off.Must water mine again tomorrow- during this heat, ones in tubs can dry out quicker.If I can find the vid, I'll post it on here.A Welsh chap and got huge yields.

July 13Jul 13 Wild fires all over the shop currently.Including one around Dovestone reservoir. Family could see the smoke and an orange glow from Belmont earlier.

July 13Jul 13 Grandson was up Saddleworth way on Sunday playing rugby and daughter said there were fires on the moors
July 13Jul 13 There was one not too far away a couple of weeks back, smoke had drifted across from an easterly area.

The smell is horrendous and yesterday the smoke was so bad it was like a mist rolling through As @Lt. Aldo Raine said one arrest so far. Brain dead cunt filmed herself setting fireworks off, inhaling balloons,etc. Plenty of other videos doing the rounds so expect a few knocks on the door over the next few days. Destroyed land, dead animals, etc. These cunts need the book thrown at them
July 13Jul 13 Absolutely. Show them the pictures from Spain, where even an accidental fire has cost lives- including 4 Britons potentially. Bell ends.

Fields and fields of purple, now black and lifeless. Proper shame.

July 13Jul 13 Saw an interesting piece on the local news the other day. The fire brigade are now deliberately burning parts of the moors in an attempt to stop fires spreading further. Makes sense to me.
