Re: Too late to save my beetroot?
Although bolted leeks are edible the flavour isn't so nice and can be bitter.

Re: Help! 5 year old started pooing in her pants!
Lucky for me I've no first hand expeerience of this. From what I've read it seams a combination of a very high fibre diet and persevering with putting little un on the loo repeatedly whether they like it or not seems to help other mums with the same problem http://www.circleofmoms.com/moms-with-scho...

Chicken rehoming Grantham Lincs

Re: Should I oil or grease a 'skimmed' Rayburn hotplate?
Our old house had a Solid fuel Rayburn when we moved in. As we both worked full time then we gave it away! Yes I know, what a stupid thing to do. Rayburn instructions say how to clean but do not say to oil hotplates. http://www.rayburn-web.co.uk/Prodin/Rayburn%20current%20products/Rayburn%20600Kseri...

Re: What now?
Bronze fennel, yes cut down to about 3". Should come up next year but can be a short lived perennial. Watch out for seedlings some may come true but most will revert to common green. Blooming things come up everywhere are are the devil to dig out once established.

Re: who's got the oldest singer sewing machine on here??
Mine's only a youngster circa 1990 but I love it. Have never used a lot of the fancy stitches of course and it came with lots of weird feet for heaven knows what.
