Hi Weed
Thanks for that - wonderful tempting anarchy of the best kind - I'm still laughing - and I have a 24 hour Tesco only 20 mins walk away...
People at my work will love it - a lot of them are psychologists!

Why you should get some "examination gloves"
Hi In Suffolk last July I visited the excellent Wooten's Nursery near Halesworth and noticed that they were wearing tight fitting gloves when potting out plants. I got back and bought a hundred "examination gloves" for around £4. They are excellent. I have always preferred to hand weed wit...

Re-runs after past failures include melons (now that I have a greenhouse)and Alderman peas (now I have a new veg. plot that is disease ...

Hi I'm a bit misceivous too - you know I don't drive past Tesco to go another 6 miles to the Co-op - just interested that others do the same. Here in N. East Scotland we are seeing the slow death of small town shopping centres which are a direct result of the supermarkets. Local people seem to like ...

Hi I was intruiged by the very rapid govenment statement that we may never know the cause - I take that to mean we won't be told and therefore will never know.

Hi The media has been surprisingy restrained (by media standards) over the whole bird flu story. I keep hens and need to know how this happened in Sufffolk. It's not just migratory birds that can find their way into the Holton factory - what oher connections might there be in the glodal world of pou...

Hi I've just sown peas (meteor), lettuce and spring onions in a heated propagator on the kitchen windowsill. Once germinated they will go into a cool (frost free) greenhouse before planting out in a polytunnel. And in a couple of days I'll sow raddish directly in the tunnel. It's good to be sowing a...
