There are some real arseholes on this forum but maf is not one of them. If he doesn't bother contributing I doubt others will, but if that's what you want...........

Well you won't if you've blocked him. I don't understand why you're doing this. Maf is one of the most reasonable posters on this forum and one of the very few who contributes to this thread. Surely you want people to contribute?

On 16/02 you planted a large amount of white kohlrabi, small amount of yellow kohlrabi, tall? leeks, small yellow kohlrabi and leeks, some celery? Can't read it all.

To have a blatant disregard for the consequences of what comes after they are gone. The ensuing chaos if you like.

Then you said this in response to my asking if it was eating a live mouse:
