Ron,
I'm guessing the obvious answer of 63.125 is not correct?
If it is, you must be seriously affected by the wet weather.  ::)

You are correct Peter, that is not the answer ;) and I am becoming seriously affected by the wet. We have well established plants that are rotting away at the crowns, and the chickens just can't keep up with the slugs and snails! Noras on her fourth planting of climbing pencil beans.  ::) Pumpkins, courgettes, all the brassicas descimated! Sweet corn, collapsed and rotting.  :( Normally we manage to be pretty much self sufficient, but this year we'll be in the check out queues with everyone else unless something changes quickly. Least the pond is filling up somewhat, ;D
How's your neck of the woods?

Well we weren't directly affected by the floods from last Thursday, but there was some spectacular flooding to see on my prolonged journey home. However it looks like we're in for another major soaking again tomorrow. It's true what they say about the greenhouse being for the benefit of the gardener rather than the plants. At least I can get on with some repotting jobs. Might even get the bulbs done this year - Ian Y will be so proud of me! ::)

Really not sure where I could put this - but this is a puzzle for anyone visiting the garden, the remains of Yucca whipplei after it has flowered and the leaves cut back to the base. It actually makes a rather wonderful piece of Garden Sculpture!

You've made a very neat job of that, Tim.  :) It is still decorative in that state.
What is the core of the flowering stem like? Beautifully white- is it that 'spongey' texture you get in reeds?

No Maggi - it is quite hard but open textured, so the flowering stem was very rigid but light. I don't know how long this will last; at the moment it reminds me a little of a pineapple! Weird but fun.

It's an animal food?  Not sure exactly what for, because you have all these foreign animals we don't.  ;D
