Re: cheese
Johnboy, when you say store for 6 weeks, do you mean an old-fashionned pantry?

Re: Top 50 posters
I joined Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:46 pm
I posted quite a lot soon after, looking for information.
I don't post very often now as I don't use the site as a "friends get-together".

They have Pharmacists. I'm sure I read recently that "the authorities" were encouraging people to use these rather than clog-up Doctors' waiting rooms.

Courgette Tarmino
Sutton Seeds are advertising this variety as good for freezing.
I've never been able to freeze courgettes (without cooking).
Has anyone tried these?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Solstice, the best time to harvest most garlic.
I thought you had to wait until all the leaves went brown.

Thanks in advance.
