After the attack of the fungus gnats, I only had one surviving courgette plant which I though would be enough. But it has produced only four nice, normal courgettes and then completely stopped. There is no growing point at all and it has been completely inert like this for a few weeks. The leaves are now starting to die off; I've never seen anything like it before!

   

Do we have any kitchen cabinets listeners? ( radio 4 )
On there last show they sliced a cucumber sprinkled sparingly with caster sugar and it tastes like melon.
We’ve just tried it. It really does taste like melon! We’ve just eaten a whole cucumber     . 

The science bit is they are both made up of the same chemicals/ compounds whatever it’s called. The only difference is melon has sugar in it. 

Try it. It’s really good and messes with your head a little bit.

If you won a lifetime supply of the last thing you bought, what are you stuck with?

Would you be surprised if mine was Seeds?

You have probably heard me rambling on about my front steps project where I took out the old steps and completely re-modelled the entrance with steps leading off to the side instead of the front. All done with scrounged bricks (took me ages to clean them), Well that part was completed a few weeks back but was a bit of a deathtrap without railings. i always intended to make the railing in the same guise as my gate and fence and finally finished them. After a coat of paint they don't look three bad so I was chuffed that project is just about complete.

I also scrounged a big lump of wood from a tree that some one was keen to get rid of. This I planned on turning into an anvil stand and yesterday my youngest son gave me a hand to construct my 'Garden Folly' Maybe not to everyone's taste but its at the top of the garden, unseen from the French doors and patio and with plenty of room around it so I can shape metal to my hearts content!

Here's  a few piccies.
