Phew, no mention of Richard Gere..

That sounds really cute keeping fish in your water butt. I'll be interested to hear if they like it. I'm presuming you can't have a lid on if you have fish?

We'll be at church most weeks. What a daft time to have it.

Aw thanks very much for the offer Jude but we're in Northwich So near yet so far.

I really want some of this now. Haven't found it in a garden centre yet though... Perhaps I should try online.

Awww, so cute. I want chickens even more now.

Pol said " we have huge area of big shingle as a driveway " I weighted my answer accordingly. You can get bigger or smaller propane cannisters to go with what I suggested, up to the huge six foot tall ones seen at caravan parks, or pikey sites. I suspect the Lidl one is more suited to sor...

I got one of those flame weeders from Lidl and it was only £6.99 with a small canister. Or how about using salt?

I've just taken a couple of photos of my Ailsa Craig for you. Hopefully the leaves may be slightly different. My Gartenperles spikes are more rounded than these which is how I can tell the difference but I've no idea about your yellow bush one. Hope the photos help anyway. http://i5.photobucket.com/...

Well then - this is looking good! I'll change my original list as it included quiche and potato salad. OH will make a game pie, bread and a desert (yet to be determined) and I'll make a fish pate (imagine the accent over the e please) and a meat pate (ditto) plus a salad. We'll bring a flagon of Ja...

Streps - well done - you certainly give me encouragement. There are times when I could really enjoy one, but I know I won't ever have another one. Have you saved the money??? If so, have you spent any? Are you saving for something special?? Congratulations! You deserve a big reward. Thank you! I wi...

If you get big side shoots mid-season use them as cuttings - much easier way of getting late plants for succession than sowing another lot. Sounds great! Would I just nip them off and plant them or dip in rooting powder or place in water? And could you give me some idea of what you mean by mid-seas...

Here are my first spuds! They've just reached the top of the bucket so I've filled them up and put some weedfree material over to help keep out the light. I planted two in this bucket that I got from Morrison's when they were selling off the black flower buckets 10 for 99p. They should be ready in J...

Hmm I came on this thread to find out about forum rules and it's gone completely off topic! I don't know anything about dinosaurs...

Lol. Only joking.

Yep exactly. It didn't really matter what variety mine was, just making conversation.

This is possibly a bit late but my tomato plant is at a good point to show the side shoots so thought I'd take a pic. Now hopefully you can see the normal branches at a 90% (ish) angle and then the side shoots coming up between them at like 45%. The two below are getting quite big and you can also s...
