Well, where do I start. Sheffield is a total disaster area after the floods of the last few days. I'd say we got off fairly lightly, with rain water pouring down the path from another garden. It was a positive river, and the grids couldn't cope...

My peas and potatoes are flowering!! Well to be exact, there is one flower on a pea plant but quite a few on the spuds. Wasted an hour of my day yesterday "rethreading" the strimmer, which does an adequate job but I have to stop literally e...
