Maybe your soil is quite acid, or alkaline?

You're both cruising (for a bruising)! OK, I can spin, weave, knit, crochet, sew by hand and machine. Some of those better than others but if cold enough I'm sure the other skills would speed up. :lol: I also have a huge stash of fabrics and yarns so it wouldn't necessarily be from scratch.

We've just chopped down our chillies and put some into winter storage because they had almost completely blocked ...

Careful, you'll be challenging Odsox in the 12 month tomato stakes soon. Consider 12 month lettuce a gateway plant.
