In my garden, sad to say, it was the bindweed, which overtook half the garden up to the knee. I spent the weekend digging it out - benefit is it took a surface layer of detritis and stones with it leaving beautiful soil. Now about to play catch up and plant tomatoes. What types give best quality and yeild do you think? BTW am experimenting with Fructose jam - will let you know how it goes. Plus: cooked a rib of beef yesterday for 10 hours at 65 degrees C. Took it out when internal temp was 56 degrees c. Amazing results: rare - beautiful pink all the way through and butter-like. See you soon, H Glad to hear things there roaring away.
