Suggestion. Regular posters use a subject line containing "URG:" as I
have done here. NOT a perfect solution but would often help with manual
or automatic filtering?

There's nothing to stop trolls and pests doing the same.

Monkey see - monkey do. Even trolls are capable of copying the
actions of human beings.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
As an 'owner' I would have thought that Barrowcloth would have acted with
more responsibility. On second thoughts, maybe not :-((

Hello Janet!
This is one of my periodic checks into usenet groups. Rather discouraging
all 'round, I must say.
How was the spring in Scotland? It was rainer in Maine even than 1983, (my
former standard against which I judged rainy springs) I'm reluctant to
pronouce on the summer yet---
Scott in Maine

Hello yourself. Don't give up. Sooner or later, the weevils will bore
themselves to death and turn into compost.

Spring? You had Spring? :-)
West Scotland had a mild damp winter almost up until July, which has
been warm sunny and dry. Everything in the garden just sat there
sulking for two months and was very late getting started. I reckon my
beans should fruit round about late August, and the sweetcorn in time
for Christmas. Herbaceous flowering stuff is all looking wonderful
though.
Janet.

Please shove this boring crap and take your friend and yourself
somewhere the sun don't shine.

I've had the first beans from mine...

All of them, rather than just their brains? I look forward to that.

Quite :-(

Very similar here. My broad beans are a complete disaster. The
earlies didn't set, and the current ones overripened before they
swelled _ I am wondering whether to leave them to ripen properly.
I planted a very late lot, as an experiment, and the weather went
back to winter, so they mostly rotted.
My sweetcorn may be OK, provided that we see the sun again before
2006, which is not looking likely at present.
Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

I planted plants and though they didn't have many flowers they have
ripened and produced very large pods. I did pinch out the tops this year
which meant I didn't get any black fly.
My peas have had five sowings as they sat so long that the mice must
have eaten them. Also carrots have had to be sown several times to get a
full row! My runner beans, French beans and climbers are doing well now
but it's been slow up to the last fortnight.
On the plus side the tomatoes outside are ripening, the courgettes
(round ones this year! Like little golf balls) cucumber and brassicas
seem to be enjoying the weather.
Rain at last today, hopefully more to come as the ground is very dry.
The heavy infestation of grey aphids on brassicas seems to have
disappeared before I could spray, though it'd ruined one variety of
cabbage.
