Weeds through my bark
I have recently put down some turf and decorated the edges of the garden with bark, I was fed up of weeding and wanted to spend the time enjoying the garden.

Re: Asparagus recipies
This one is a favourite. I only make one change to the method. Follow the method but only add the egg after the rest has been in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Otherwise the egg will be rock hard. m https://d1v30bmd12dhid.cloudfront.net/static/version6/content/dam/waitrose/recipes/images/b/baked%20egg...

Asparagus recipies
Hi all,
We have been given a load of asparagus, I do enjoy it but I'm wondering if anyone has any good recipe's. I usually just serve it in some butter or wrapped in Parma ham or something similar but haven't really seen it served any other way.

Re: For cat folk.....
We have rabbits at home and one of our neighbours cats keep skulking around. It isnt a big cat and is not much bigger than the rabbits, do you think the cat is likely to attack the rabbits?

Has it sent out any runners? Think you may need to increase your stock, but bet they tasted nice.

They were beautiful, in fairness they we in a quite little pot so I may plant them next year but I have tried to grow them in the garden before unsuccessfully.

Re: Greedy bunnies
They are so industrious they seem to get past every obstacle I put in their way, but they are too cute to kill :-/

We have had a little strawberry plant in our garden that we bought from a garden centre but we only got one berry all summer until last week when we had a monster harvest of 3
