I had a devastating discovery. I was given footy franks instead of cocktail franks from the deli. I rectified the problem with a knife.

Market run is great success. Free ice cream from Sam

Ha, that was funny - was cooking dinner and due to the cats deciding that they wanted food Right Now and me trying to cook, feed them and not trip on them simultaneously, I grabbed and used the 1/3 cup measure instead of the tablespoon one. Turned out delicious, though, so no complaints in the end.

Oh and I forgot who had the chillos that were at risk of getting too cold - but you can buy or make covers to go over the top of them.

Even put them in a plastic tub with a lid as a temporary greenhouse til you can get something else sorted

If I was to grow zucchini in pots would a tripod of Brunnings bamboo stakes be enough support? (The thin kind?) Or should I go for a thicker individual wooden stake for each, or a cheap wooden lattice?

I probably wouldnโ€™t be letting the fruit get full size. More young tender zukes

Zuchs don't usually need staking as they form a rosette style bush. Maybe one thick sturdy stake to tie the growing tip up to.
