I don't usually have anything of interest to show but I was quite pleased to discover this, amongst some eBay tat, at the weekend.

Growing cannabis is sooooo much more rewarding

Here's an 1854/3 which I bought on ebay for £7.50 in 2008. I sold it to Andy Scott in 2014, and presume it was sold as part of his collection through Spinks, think 2015........but I don't know where it went. I owned this piece before I had a digital microscope, so pictures of 4/3 in date are not great. However, if you stare at the overdate you can see the 3 appear from underneath, including the tip of the middle bar poking out at the right hand side of the inner part of the 4.........not often seen.

Such a great spell of weather- I cleaned the shed out, cleaned the greenhouse out, and got my overwintering area sorted. Pint glass for scale. Nearly gave myself a hernia lifting those pots..:)

I had 38 tomato plants this year. I grow about a dozen different varieties so I have everything from "garden sweets" to big ones for cooking. I'm hopefully taking delivery of a Spetchley Red grape vine sometime today. Never tried growing a watermelon, or any other melon for that matter.

I downloaded the parts I wanted off the web - via Treasurerealm.com. It's free.
