Petrol Strimmers

Hi Jo,

Can't really be much help I'm afraid,except to say don't get a Flymo XLT - I did because it seemed just the job and was quite cheap - but it's been difficult to use and has needed fixing twice. I think the moral is buy the best you can afford.

How cold is too cold for seedlings?

The only things I've got outside are sweet peas and leeks (in modules).Everything else is indoors, the house looks like Kew Gardens and if the weather stays as cold as it has been seems like it will remain so for a while yet. Husband not impressed 

Talkback: How to plant out runner beans

I have read somewhere that for a lush crop you can place two plants per cane, and pinch out the growing tips at 2 ft and again at 4ft, this will provide many more productive sideshoots. I will be trying this and will try to remember to report my results. I do, however, foresee difficulty in picking as I will be growing on a wigwam due to lack of space!

Joe, this is the first time I've loaded a pic, just one of the computer samples, but hey, I did it. (Little bit of help from child )
