    Made it to number 4 gradually getting bored. Any veggie hints from 5 - 10?

    Cheers, Tony.

    I got as far as 5 before it broke and presented me with a blank screen, but to be honest, I wasn't too upset, as I disagree entirely with the 5 points I did see. I'm not by any means the most experienced gardener there is, but so far my experience has taught me that what I just read is more than a little bit wrong.

      What about:-
      Keep your feet out of the way of the fork.
      Don't use weedkiller in the watering can.
      Get someone else to prune the roses

      They are the sort of warnings I was expecting:paladin:

        How about wear safety glasses near cordalines and yuccas! (I speak from painful experience)
