Not at all Hara- it is also one of the things I havn't got a clue about and is high on my "to ask" list :)

We already have an end terraced house with a garden that sweeps round from front to back, is about the size of 2 standard allotments. Only problem is the local council wont let us have rabbits or chickens :( As for the local allotments, we got bullied off those 2 years back, being threatened with RS...

Hey there guys, hope you all had a very happy festive season :) For the past few months myself and the other half have seriously been considering buying some land for chickens/rabbis/veg/and fruit. The only problem is we really dont know where to start. We seem to be falling at the first hurdle by n...

I'm definatly a pickled eggs girl. I'd never heard of them till I moved to the NE and our lad proudly served me one up on a fork dipped in salt. The look he got! But it was DIVINE! I now go nuts for them, so, pickle em all!

Welcome to -ish Sophie! Glad to have you with us :)

Well howdy Jimmy ! A warm welcome to you from across the pond! Stick your wellies up, have a cuppa and make yourself at home

As a teenager I loved it! I used to make all my own costumes. As I got older the scroogy/grouch in me came hough and I don't even bother going out anymore ^_^ Then again, I don't know anyone round here and I'm too busy with all my projects :) Cup of home brew with my feet up suits me better :)

Oh my! I knew it was bad for you but i didn't realise it was THAT bad! I'll definatly be passing the info on to my brother so he can wach out for my neices!

Nice one Rosey! The catterpillers got my cabbages this year- just as i managed to "borrow" a pot to ferment it in *grr* definatly jealous! Will have to wait till next year yet again. I'm told it's nice added to mixed salads, used as a grnish for burgers/sausages and all of the previous sug...

Jampot, I've poked my OH in the eye a few time with those "random twitches"... you know, trying to take a dog hair off his eyelashes and POKEY!!! My mother used to call me "The Fairy Elephant" during puberty, it's only years later I fully understand

Hehe, almost too huge. Our little freezer is now chock full of stock and steaks... and he's out AGAIN!!! I wish he'd pack in, but i'll never turn down a free lunch. At least we can palm some off on next door- he's letting us use his back garden from next spring for even more veggies, so it's the lea...

Mines more along the lines of depth perception, at certain 'times' I start slamming my coffee cups down onto tables, I've broken so many glasses and cups through this. I also tend to hit my nose with cups, for some reason my mouth seems to be an inch lower during t hese times :lol: I always thought ...

Welcome to -Ish! And do spill the beans, I'm a nosey blighter :)

We've always had the same problem.... apart from this year. We found an ancient packet of the "Value" BandQ white label carrot hidden in a drawer, and i though "Well, it can't hurt". They've come out lovely! A little on the small side- but the taste is all there. I'm just glad I ...

heh heh! Tell me about it! Spent the day reading through older posts and the OH decided to bring back another salmon last night so I had all of that to prep. for freezing in individual portions and a pan full of stock to make >.< needless to say dinner last night was sandwiches hehe
