Hi,
I've just made a big pot of Delia's chutney and it is very vinegary - should i add more sugar to counteract that?

Thanks!

Now there's a challenge! I shall have fun today.
Thank you.

I'm a show novice and just realised (for Saturday) that i ought to have bought the show rules from the RHS as our schedule just refers back to them. I want to show some Pink Fir Apple Potatoes: they are knobbly and rather vulgar. Do I have to find boring matched ones or can i enter them in all their...

Thanks

I put half a melon or similar in the bin and it fills with worms which I then return to the empty bin. I've been known to buy tiger worms from the fishing shop to add to a new bin.
