Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
If you think a Porche is over compensating, you should see the Maclaren parked beside my parent's house! It belongs to a new neighbour and I have to turn around next to it whenever I drop stuff off. Not funny in icy weather. I'm really not into cars, but I can't imagine what my insurance would say i...

Re: Has anyone got a deep-filled pie maker?
My mum has got back to me to say she "doesn't get on with it and hasn't used it in a long time". However, she knows someone who uses one a lot. Sorry, that's no help at all!
Personally, I agree with Monika.

Re: Vitamin D
I use a Vitamin D spray, which came from Holland & Barrett and lives in the fridge. One spray on the tongue daily.
It's not something I did before last year as I'm outside every day, but I had to do something to stop my family nagging me and I could see no harm.

Re: Has anyone got a deep-filled pie maker?
Hi Stravaig, my mum bought one a few years ago. I will enquire for you.

Re: King Seed Supplies
Suttons and Dobies are one, as are Marshalls and Unwins.
I buy from Dobies rather than Suttons if possible. More seeds, much cheaper and the packets are plain rather than having pretty pictures.

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
Hi Monika, I grow from seed too. I always found them less prone to bolting, until last year, when they were bolting all over the place.
Every year is different...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.
I'm hopeful for this year. All my seed orders arrived a while ago. I was concerned about seed availability because of Covid, so ordered way earlier than usual. I'm trying a Tuscan kale called Yukon this year. It's much shorter than Nero di Toscana so should be easier to net. I've also ordered a goos...

Re: The typewriter for hair
I'm lucky as having long hair I can pull it in a ponytail over the top of my head, bend over so I can see it in front of me and cut an inch or two off. Hasn't failed yet and I have to be honest, I don't need lockdown to do this... I do always remember to put the kitchen scissors in the dishwasher af...

Re: Omelette.
Ooh, eggy bread! We've not had that for at least a year. Cooked in a nice hot pan with fried tomatoes and perhaps some crispy bacon on the top.
I know what I'm cooking this weekend, you can keep the omelette!

Re: Mid Winter Bits and Bobs.
So much for doing a bit of allotment work today. We went down to get some muck from our regular Sunday drop off, but thick snow caused a real problem. I was pushing a barrow with a solid wheel and it just kept picking up packed snow until it stopped turning as the wheel was too big. I had to kick al...

Re: When to Sow peas to avoid Pea Moth?
I know how you feel Tony! When I first got my allotment, I used to put scary things in and around the cabbages to deter the birds. That was about it. Now we have crop protection over just about everything except the beetroot, parsnips and potatoes. It makes weeding so much more difficult.

Re: Blackberry
Hi Tracie
We have one that came from Aldi. Don't know if a variety was given, but they have them every year. Thornless, huge lovely tasting fruit and masses of them.
