Like you Shiney I am quite happy with my spuds!

Meant to ask Shiney, how did you grow your spuds, conventional, tubs or what?

it's time to get concerned when the men in white coats arrive and bring those funny jackets that button up in the back...

My BH says I should have been in one of those jackets years ago

4lbs, thats brilliant! I'm getting excited about my pea pods, is this normal do you know? All this excitment about spuds, peas, strawberries, I'm getting some funny looks from the neighbours these days

I gave you the full whack because it is funny but also really describes mine (too ashamed to even hang it out now )

Voting done, do you want to know how many I gave you?

Mine are just starting to flower now, here is a pic

Raspberries already, WOW, have to wait a while for mine! I have just picked my first pea pod and eaten it! On a more abundant note, cut and come again lettuce for lunch and 5 strawberries :lol: . Oh and just bottled my very first Elderflower cordial, don't think it'll last long, it is scrumptious :m...

Thats a shame Millymollymandy just as well you managed to salvage most of it and hopefully can get a refund. Cats and worming pills :roll: , just did mine, same result :lol: I've got 2 of the smaller green housy things and poked a hole through the plastic and tied them to the fence, It was hubby's i...

Have just done the first rack of my elderflower wine as the fermentation had slowed to less than 1 bubble per minute. The instructions say that a taste at this stage should give an indication of what the finished product should be like. The SG reading was 1000 and the taste was like pure spirit, no ...

Thanks Irish! Will have a go at this once I have finished with the Elderflower, Gooseberry and Banana wine. Plus I have a pile of gooseberry chutney cooling waiting to be put into jars

Well done, that sounds like fun! I remember my father bringing one home when I was a wee tot. My Mother rode pillion and was terrified, sister and myself in side car, we didn't have it for long Mum put her foot down! One sister lives in Amsterdam which I've visited over the last 15 yrs, you'd be ama...

I got mine through posting a wanted ad in Freecycle (got tons of stuff) and have since met 3 people who have them either up the attic or in the garage and have offered to give them to me just to get them out of the way! If you were nearer I could give you one! Its worth asking around as there a load...

I had a look around and found a recipe here for you made with brandy http://www.showcook.co.za/Summer%20Berries.htm it is the last recipe on the page. Sounds nice might have a go my self!

Well I really didn't mind sitting in the sunshine picking off the flowers, kept seeing weeds out of the corner of my eye and was able to justify why I couldn't get the hoe out! The wine is fermenting nicely but initially I filled the demijohn too full and the airlock got brown stuff in it. I poured ...

I did suggest netting, it is a big tree but I had another look today and it would be possible. I don't like to kill them but last year the wasps at the farm were prolific, thousands of them. My 2 nieces could not play in the garden at all because of stings :cry: . Carol (my sister) has noticed wasps...
