Hubby's garden isn't what it should be by now. He put all of his usual nutrients in prior to tilling and has fertilized everything. I think it is time to rotate the crops. Everything is growing, but really slow for the nice weather we are having. Plus he has to start his cucumbers in the house again next year. We usually are overflowing with them by now.

Hi SM, no Tan is my wife. I lifelong lover of gardening who decided 2 years ago to get a formal qualification in her favourite subject.
Now my eldest daugher, Belle, has her GCSE O Levels next year, the first big set of exams for people over here...Followed by A levels (if she does them) then three years degree (at £9K a year) - followed by youngest Livi 20 months behind - so we will have stress of exams etc for a few years now...Followed by stress of me wanting to retire.
Oooopsie. Sorry. Congrats to your wife... and you'll still have the yard that your neighbors will envy.

Well hubby figured out why the tomatoes are doing so well...MOLES!!! They invaded us from the wreck of a yard next door.
Yes - Tan has had a rabbit undermine one of her favourite plants.......time to go hunting varmints......I still hav`nt "wreaked my re-wengy" (Black Adder, wreaked my revenge) on that mouse which ate part of Tan`s Christmas present.........
May I remind you from my response back then to do some trapping and have Tan think about starting an elite fur clothing line for Barbie and all her friends

Little Barbie stoles, made from the finest dead mice.......Good idea 2 Beers - I had forgotten your earlier advice......
I can hear PETA stampeding your way as we speak!

Those darned varmints completely devoured our asparagus! Their fur would make very nice Barbie stoles...
