@ARMANDII, I trained my cat to come in (most nights) by giving her a treat if she came when called. She answers to her name now and will always...
...whoa. @misterQ that's HUGE! I guess I'd better pick a large spot for it then :biggrin:Thanks @Macraignil - they look quite dark so I think...

Didn't manage to get the celery planted out yesterday so I've just done that, plus the basil and chives. Just carrots left to go in that bed and...
