hmmm, don't really have anywhere cold at the moment, but I have got dry. My feed sacks are all plastic which is a nuisance - will have to see if my husband can bring me a cardboard box home from work. Thanks for the advice

Just lifted some spuds (two bucketsful and a carrier bag) from my veg plot, they were left-overs from last year and suddenly sprang up all over the place earlier this year. What would be the best way to store them so that they stay fresh over the next few weeks?

cheers

Hi Mama nice to make your acquaintance..!!

if you have a licence...

she is an Arrow. She was given to me a couple of years ago having been found in a barn during a farmhouse clearance. She had been garaged in 1973 by the previous owner so has the maximum of 12-years' use since she was built, and 2 owners from new, but kept in the same family. I am looking forward ve...

The Simpsons are positively VILE. Therefore I am very upset by this. Could we send someone "over there" to paint a moustache on the Statue of Liberty...THEY would not like it, would they?

Paul and I are old friends ...I am 10 days older than he is; he doesn't let me forget it and I tell him not to cheek his elders..!

As well as cats that like herbs and ducks that won't swim one of my cats is afraid of mice

my ducks don't appear to like the wet and they won't lay unless there is a lot of sunshine.... We dug them a pond which they would not go in...they now have four washing up bowls of water to keep their beaks and eyes clean and they often will stand in them and splash but as for "swimming"....

thanks

Hi Annpan, not sure what I will do with all the lavender. I love it too and I lost my last lot which was planted in a big stone sink on my patio and my cats decided to sit all over it... My great grandparents were farmers on the Nonsuch Estate at Cheam in Surrey almost a century ago - the farm grew ...

Hi All just managed to get in on here. I'm the wrong side of 50, a Granny, live in South East Wales about 45 miles from Paul who joined recently and told me about this forum. I have a very large garden which is really too much for me to manage now especially as it has been waterlogged for most of th...
