I have this done Angie http://www.biosculpture.co.uk/home.asp, it is like a coating (protein based so non-damaging) which makes my paper-thin nails as strong as . . . well . . .nails!

Looking good girl!

It was not that long ago that you had a bare patch and not much else. You have achieved loads.

Not long now until you start to 'harvest'

Re: Yola's Allotment Thread :-)


Here are some current pics of the site and also some of our tiny, baby vegetables AND our first rhubarb crop!! It's all growing beautifully - apart from the cauliflowers being decimated by the pigeons. Still, they're recovering under wire well now Bit of a pic overload I'm afraid . . .

An overview from the back of the allotment:




Baby broad beans:




Baby courgettes:




A blushing strawberry:




The raw materials for last night's crumble:

Re: Yola's Allotment Thread :-)


I'd never guess this is your first allotment season, Yola. Well done - you have worked really hard and deserve to enjoy the fruits (and veg) of your labour!
