# 2124A modest, but none-the-less satisfying, take-home.
# 2118I didn't like the look of those new leaves (Could it be mosaic virus?) so decided to consign the plant to the compost heap.
# 2117My last remaining 'Tondo' marrow has lost it roundness (It's crossed itself with a standard type from a neighbouring plot) :(
