So I decided to see if we can go for the world record for the common or garden Stinkhorn.
See posts below this one.

My husband is convinced it will collapse under 9"...
O ye of little faith I think to myself...
Yes He is holding the yardstick.
Yes we are doing gardening,
No I haven't got anything better to do...
My greenhouse is looking good.
Decided to try strimming and doing a controlled burn on the 'weed patch'. Also to try to move the strawberries next season and put the compost heap here.
It's too hot out to work, so am going to have a read.
Great feeling to be totally clueless without anything to think about.
Not particularily feel like doing anything.
Got a plan to sort out the weed patch.
And much as I like the idea of making a flame thrower, I think it would be very irresponsible, and a bad example.
must be having a good day...
