I grow in clay soil and my favorites are Swift as my early, Anya for taste and Sarpo Mira as maincrop. Sarpo isnt good straight after harvest but when everything else is tasteless sarpo is great.Red Duke was disliked by everybody in the family,but I think its a pretty plant.

I missed the last number on blueberries,which is a subject dear to me. How can I get one? I`ll visit my sister a few days after easter and again in June. She lives north of London.

When I moved into my house and began digging, I started to find strange things. I live next to the main railway line so many of the things are train things. Like mirrors,unbroken glassshelves and pieces of track. But my best find are a helmet and spade of german war issue. My compostbin are placed n...
