Just spotted Dave showing Mary Berry about foraging for herbs on Great British Food Revival.

Can I show off my new to me Didymos Red Waves? I lurve it!!!

after last year moving house mid summer, this year we had a baby at the end of summer, this meant early stuff was looked after well and harvested regularly but after c-section I didn't manage to tend the veg well successes: mangetout, salads, strawberries, kale, broccoli, chard, carrots failures: be...

A newbie at this but love wearing my son. Get so many positive comments when out and about. Need to perfect my tieing though http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6175/6175001949_9404431ed0.jpg and this one just cause it's cute http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6167/6175528570_76b579f962.jpg Calin Bleu woven ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I understand your apprehension, I also work with primary children and having had 4 miscarriages was really unsure what to do. In the end I decided it was worth the risk and had the injection in the first tri. My son is now 7 weeks old and is showing no ill effects.

congratulations! Here's a link to thread I started when pregnant... http://www.selfsufficientish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=22034&hilit=ishy+baby My baby is now 5 weeks old and we're gradually getting to grips with it all. Enjoy your pregnancy,it's such a beautiful time. I would recommen...

thanks for resurrecting this thread. I commented while I was still pregnant, my son is now 5 wks old and is regularly out and about in either a baby bjorn with my hubby or a calin bleu woven my friend has loaned me. Must get some pics up!

Sorry to hear you've had to cope with all this. It must be so hard to see your wee one ill so often (my baby is only a month old and I'm finding it hard enough coping with colic!). I would ask to see the consultant again. GPs are great for routine illnesses but they are called "General" pr...

I've never had a problem with Hydrangeas, I think perhaps the varieties we get are generally quite hardy. The geraniums, if they are geranium rather than pelargonium, will be fine and will mutliply til your garden has been taken over by them!

Have you looked into Elimination Communication? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_communication There'll be forums out there to ask more.

I've found myself regretting agreeing to putting people up in the past few years, I really need to learn how to say no! That's just not fair, if oyu offer to come and help you come and help when it's needed, not take a free holiday!!! Only 48hrs to go...

Love it! My favourite quote from one of my student teaching presentations was "There's no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing"! This was in reference to nurseries where children get to play outdoors regardless of the weather.

Great idea! It would encourage more people to use reusable ones.

Tried to save the seedlings which were in my minigreenhouse when it was blown over by 70mph winds on Monday. They were being hardened off now they are back in the conservatory where the biggest risk is our cat!

The problem is that many women aren't preparing themselves for conception with folic acid supplements or taking them once they are pregnant. There have also been suggestions in the past few years that folic acid can help men's fertility. On this topic I am happy for shop bought bread to be fortified...
