so, given my allotment has now turned into a paddy field, does anyone know how to grow rice?...

that's it really....I have potato blight thanks to all the rain and now everything is sitting in 3 inches of water

they sell potatoes in some shops near me - want me to post you some?

love you FMV - go and make some mud!

I went down to pick some strawbs yesterday and sank up to my ankles in warm water. Ended up weeding barefoot - was lovely. But a little depressing too

five months of mud sweat and tears ....

oh no you are actually really sad - I thought you were joking.

But BBB, knowing that you love me has helped heal my pain and dry my tears...>

I'd give you a wet lettuce. But perhaps you might not appreciate it
