They don't have Chinese leaves go missing or slugs devastate a crop or all the other things that happen to real gardeners.

I seem to have lost a whole tray of chinese leaves as well, I'm not sure how that could happen, but they've just vanished. Not just the plants, the entire tray. I cheated and bought a tray of oak leaf lettuces from the garden shop, they always do well and don't take long until we can harvest from them. I always end up doing that when I've forgotten to sow more.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.com
