Oooh! Heal up soon! My daughter has a wisdom tooth that’s growing horizontally in the gum and we suspect is giving her migraines. One more medical thing to take care of!

Re: Allotment: Woo Hoooo!!! :) :) :)
Growing food can be a really big battle. Must admit I’ve just got a couple of tomato plants and some cut and come again lettuces in pots on a garden table.
