    I'm going to get my excuse in early as well :hehe:

    I'll have to start mine off late as well - but it makes it more of a challenge :). I'm not sure about the putting in of a heavy supporting stake as that is the sort of thing I'm not allowed to do any more but I'll twist someones arm about that :hehe:.

    It looks, from the link put up, that it is an 18 month job. I'm sure I can think of plenty of other excuses in that time. :lollol: :lollol:

    I'm not much of a challenge :hehe: as I don't find time to look after the plants. All the plants in our garden have to fend for themselves. A nice dollop of compost to start and watering when I think of it is what they get. Pests are allowed to get on eith their job without hindrance :(.

    Do I take the top off when it has reached 20ft? :lollol: :lollol:

    Girls, you seem to have put an extra "0" on your cabbage height estimate.

    Just a typo, I'm sure.

    Oops! Sorry Shiney.

    Oh in that case, fair enough, 20ft is probably about the average that Team Lads will achieve.

    ...well I have just returned to my current home in York, having spent a few days living in our 'new' aka dilapidated money pit smallholding over near Otley, (but with lovely views!)

    As well as still working three or four days a week working in other ppls gardens, I am now preparing to move into our new place...with cracks 3cm wide in the inside walls due to the need of underpinning and with a serious amount of lime plastering and other work doing, (but with lovely views)...and a garden which is currently overgrown with brambles and ground elder, (but which will eventually have lovely views!)

    BUT! I am determined to have a go at the walking stick cabbage challenge!

    We women are good at multi tasking you see....:D
