Good morning Tony, when you say that the spuds [rocket] mature quickly, if I grew them in a bag, when could I be likely to harvest big ones for baking please? [I grew some in a bag last year and hoped to have them for Christmas but they arrived too early and were nevertheless small as well.

Frank when the seedlings start to straighten up I pot them up, to lift them out of the compost I use an old table fork. The supports do two things as the onions grow, they keep the onion upright so its an even shape and prevents the leaves falling over and stopping growth

Morning everyone, still dark and raining, this seems to be the norm at the minute.No side effects from the Corona vaccine , arms a bit tender if I touch it but muscular injections do that
-
Morning Tony Well done on getting the vaccine I’m really pleased to hear no side effects – and you must have your next appointment already booked, I think. Hope my f-i-l will be offered it soon, too. Take care and have a good day
