1) Don’t give precious growing space to caulis. You’ve never been able to grow them successfully. In fact, you’re shit!
2) Build wooden retaining walls for the parsnip and long carrot drums and do away with the old metal frames.
3) Grow Pinnacle parsnip and sweet Candle stump…..definitely…..no if’s, but’s or maybe’s!
4) Buy new peat for the spud bags…..but start soon so you can be sieving over winter.
5) Get some cow muck dug in this autumn to the brassica and onion beds.
6) Put netting over cabbages. Only thing that stops cabbage whites.
7) Dig up some shrubs and trees up the garden for extra space for growing dahlias in.
8) Erect a proper f*cking bean fence…..preferably one that doesn’t go ‘ I can’t stand it any longer’ and falls over at the first breath of wind!
9) Growing broad beans for August and September shows…..it can’t be done! Stop it!
10) Aubergines…..waste of effort. Stop it!
11) Grow ‘Vento’ small onions if you can find some seed. Saw some at Littleover and they looked very good for the under 8oz class.
12) Pluck up courage to have a go at the NVS Midland Championships at Malvern in September 2009….probably in tomatoes & parsnips only for now….don’t go mad at first!
13) Get the polytunnel sorted once and for all so that you can grow better quality onions and leeks.
14) Sell the kids….they’re expensive.

re point 7 i would wholeheartedly agree. i have grown all my dahlias at the allotment uncovered. with the heavy rains of the previous week decimating virtually all my dahlias i was unable to exhibit at the northern national at harrogate.will you be exhibiting your dahlias at barrow on sat. conservative club staging 10am?
Going walking in Derbyshire tomorrow Kev. Taking a break from showing for a few weeks now until Sturton.
Pity as I have a few nice Kenora Sunset and Jomanda.
See you soon.
