Today it was Mexican gherkins. And no, I don't know if they're going to fruit (in Newcastle, when I sowed them late to start with).

Barry is a wimp. It's so hot in the back yard today (south-facing and white-walled, catching and keeping all the sun there is) that he has taken to lying in the shade, while I sneer.
