[Normans Mum]

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
After much anticipation and waiting, not to say trying loads of different methods, I have just checked my parsnips and they are finally making an appearance Only tiny, mind you..... It would seem that the loo roll innard is the way forward.

Shhhhhh NM, it's not a word that's used much around these parts but well done you anyway......

[Normans Mum]

*Whispers* Which word.......?

[veggiechicken]

The one beginning with p and endings with s........ (its a mystery why to me too!!)

[Normans Mum]

Ah. Well, the "one who most not be named" (sounds a bit like summat from Harry Potter) is doing ok. I will keep everything possible crossed.

We had too much information one year about the germination of snips that it became taboo to mention them, particularly to G4, who, not afraid to bandy the word about liberally and due to a bit of a prank from some of us grapes, became the recipient of lots and lots of the seeds, but don't tell her I told you

My snips, I mean lips are sealed, Flo
I've often wondered why they were taboo!!
