Onerous!!! as if I'd do such a thing to you. Wink

I read last week that parsley doesn't germinate in the heat when its over 22C so I'm going to wait for the end of the week when its forecast to be a bit cooler.

RE: Jobs for the coming week - JJB - 01-06-2020

Prob a good idea, how about putting it in the fridge? Is that too cold?

RE: Jobs for the coming week - Veggie - 01-06-2020

The chap who wrote (a small business plant grower) said he was going to start his in the bathroom!
I think fridge would be too cold, maybe your coolest room in the house?

What’s all this “quote pid” malarkey, is that when you update from an iPhone/phone??

RE: Jobs for the coming week - JJB - 02-06-2020

Danny, I found that it crops up when you edit someone else's post, i.e. if you only want to mention a particular sentence, not the whole post, so delete the irrelevant bits. Does that make any sense?
