Claire you should try MinicoleF1 cabbage. It matures in the late summer and will stand for nearlt 2 month without splitting. It dark green and the taste is wonderfull

Thanks for the tip about the invasiveness of lemon balm. I bought a lovely pot of it..smells beautiful. So glad you included about it getting woody and dying back in Winter...we are heading there in Australia.

There is a massive shortage of bees. One gentleman down at the allotment wants to have bees on his plot, but he's trying to convince the council that it's a necessity. Myself and many others are backing him.

I'm looking forward to summer here, hope it's a good one this year. After 2 really wet summers we deserve a descent one. The lemon balm will start sprouting again in the spring. Just cut away any stick parts to give space for the new growth.

I don't know if you're able to get "Gardeners' World" in the US, but that's really good. Good luck with the brambles. Make sure you wear thick gloves and try to get the roots out if you can. I don't envy you with that task.
