Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
A wonderful 40mins or so spent out the back gate in the field watching the aurora weave its merry dance. Less green, more magenta and purple and pink. Wonderful to watch, standing with the dogs, other half and a martini lol.

Re: Grow Your Own Drugs
Sorry my bad Stravaig. As Geoff said and as I think are shown in his profile pic. The lovely red berries you get on the hawthorn bush in autumn. They’re wonderful for heart health.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
I’m hoping not OH, been chatting to the bumbles as they putter around the garden and don’t mind the wasps and hornets, but not in my garden please. Reminds me of a time on the allotment. I didn’t realise wasps could be ground nesting and ignored the “flies” batting off me, in hindsight the wasps try...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.311
Ah how lovely Burnie, can’t beat a day on / in the river, fish or no fish. Not managed to get out this year yet as I haven’t sussed the best places in this area. You’re making me want to escape to the river.
Hope you felt a little better for it.

Re: Grow Your Own Drugs
I love James Wong and also have his book. It’s amazing what you can use that we just pass by each day. My favourite is Hawchup. A ketchup substitution I make out of haws. The most beautiful fushia colour and good for your heart health. I did my PGDip presentation on them. The research into it is qui...

Re: Sticky Willies aka Cleavers
LOL, I’d be surprised if there weren’t a few wee cheeky nettles somewhere in the garden Stravaig.
They do suggest you can use cleavers in salads but I think I’d find the texture off putting.

Re: Root trainers
Ah, this might explain my sweet pea germination rate in the root trainers… 2 out of 50 seeds sown. No vermin in the conservatory so assuming not enough water?

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Popped into the local garden centre for a couple of tomato grow bags. They’re out of cheap little pots and have been for some time, as well as the coir ones. I refuse to pay £1.50 for a potting on pot, it’d cost a fortune. However, on our wandering we found a huge bin full of pots free to a good hom...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Beautifully sunny here today. The pond aka puddle is looking decidedly green and horrid so not surprised the frogs haven’t visited, really must get to it and give it a facelift. The plants are enjoying the foray into the sun as I harden them off but it does get decidedly cold here in the evening. Th...

Re: Sticky Willies aka Cleavers
Only had nettle soup in a restaurant in Glasgow. It was nettle, sorrel and citrus if I remember correctly. Was lovely. But never plucked up the courage to make it myself for the same reason Westi. I’m convinced I’d mess it up and sting myself. LOL, we made sure the cleavers were from a non-dog visit...
