Possibly....Sweet peas are not planted in grow bags in the Green house though Okie ....it’s a bit early yet for Sweet Peas ....May is quite early enough to plant them outside . I started my sweet pea seeds in the greenhouse last autumn. They're really strong and healthy plants right now, ready to go outside after the risk of frost has finished. We say 'green fingers'. Americans say 'green thumb'. Just thought I'd throw that one in. Anything else you want to know about gardening, just ask.

Smorgasbord ....A rotten fish sandwich , enjoy 👍😆 How on Earth did you find that post from 2014 Moneypenny ! Methinks you have some contacts in the intelligence community ...by that I don’t mean the Oatcake of course . Simplezzzzz: Any unpleasant (at any slant) reference to gin goes unforgotten, Commander...... as my contacts in the intelligence community will confirm to you. Oh, hang on, no, they might not - unless you've signed the Official Secrets Act. PS: Switched from Bombay to Tanqueray just recently. Beeeeee-autiful ! In fact - sun - yardarm - know what I mean, know what I mean, nudge nudge....

Ohhhhh, yes, NOW I remember....... it's THIS chap! He who deserted us and headed off to sunnier climes...... Are you still in Lanzers, Bisp? It would be much too hot for me - I'd be like this > Fjords, as you know, are more my style. Very partial to rollmops and smorg smoorg smorrggg open sandwiches. (And ice-cold vodka. ) How very flighty of you Moneypenny ...no I have returned to our home shores to plant some potatoes ...I’m feeling that patriotic at the moment you see 🧐 Coo - I'm impressed. (Only kidding, Bisp - I know you're the Oatie's resident gardening expert. ) The only non-flowers, etc., thing I grow (apart from herbs) is rhubarb, because it thrives on me totally ignoring it. (And it's brilliant. You gave me some good advice on growing it before I started with it about 4 years ago... ) So, for all the countless folks who are looking in and would like to try growing their own potatoes, is there any variety you especially recommend, please? TIA!

(And ice-cold vodka. ) Do you take your ice cold Vodka neat or with a little something to dilute things appropriately ? I’m guessing it’s neat straight out of the freezer 🥶 Good gawd, no - I could never drink anything neat! (Apart from that once-only evening on the Rusty Nails with the Canadians......) I have it with ice-cold orange juice (+ bits) and the usual pile of ice. It's the only sort of screwdriver I know how to use.

TIA! Well I don’t bother with main croppers anymore because they are for over winter storing and we haven’t been home in recent years . I stick to first early “ new potatoes “ I’ve grown Pentland Javelin for years and they always perform well .

Ah ! Tanqueray is quite a little stronger isn’t ? ....I believe it’s souped up Gordon’s ? 🤔 Naaaah, Nige.............. (I'm thinking you're kidding about the second bit..... ) - it's a totally different thing altogether........it has (for me) a very faint almost spiciness over & above the usual juniper, and is far superior to Gordon's. It's fragrant and really delicious. And even the bottle's gorgeous.
