Westi
A bit belated but on the issue of your OH needing his driving licence for ohoto ID for voting, he can always sign up for postal voting. No iD needed for that I think but you have to Bon electoral roll.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

.Also think I would be great if they could focus a little more on growing activities for children who are te next generation of vegetable growers. I know some schools are lucky enough to have small vegetable plots but what about the many children who grow up in flats with no access to growing facili...

I can no longer do a lot of things myself but old habits die hard, I can't help noticing that they still need doing!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.

I've reluctantly cancelled my magazine subscription today. Not due to the increased cost but because I can't stand the monthly frustration of being reminded what it's time to be doing when I'm now too ohysically disabled to do any of it! I shall still be encouraging Mr Primrose to keep one vegetable...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Yes I was wondering abiut the verbena seeds too. Now qi can,t garde I was wondering if qi could just get my husband (who,s not a very proficient gardener) to just sprinkle the seeds in a couple of borders and see what develops. Incidentally our regular visiting garden Robin was spotted feeding its b...

Re: We're moving to Scotand

Hope you manage to find a suitable house that,s "age proofed" if that,s where you perhaps intend to settle. Might save you hassle later. Have learnt that some things creeep up on you more quickly than you can plan for. Agree on packing stuff yourself . Only you know which things are destin...

Re: We're moving to Scotand

How,s it going Stravaig?
You,ve been rather quiet which suggests life is currently pretty hectic. At least you're moving at a time when the the weather and daylight hours are moving in the right direction!

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Sorry about your problems Westi. Inconvenient to be without a car though, especially in this awful wet weather. The problem is navigating all the bureauracratic involved in finding a suitable replacement.

Re: Grow organic vegetables in small spaces

Welcome. ! As others have said, I think the answer lies mainly in the soil. Your own compost heap w the secret here. You can't get enough of it . Get into a habit of doing a nightly slug/snail patrol, especially after the ground has been soaked by rain and dispose of as many as possible. They will k...

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Recent heavy winds have dried out our lawns enough to permit a cut. Shockedat how much moss was lurking on the surface but should provide plenty of good nesting material for all the bids in the area !

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

ROBO, the same thought about thorder of camera use probably ccured to some of the rest of us too! The two procedures may be in different rooms by different clinicians.

Re: Mycorrhizal Fungae

Myrkk. I don't think you should berate yourself too much for a ooor result with tomatoes. After all, you,re not exactly in the best and warmest location in the UK for growing them! Don't know if you,re growing them in a greenhouse or outdoors. If outdoors, have you tried the tumbling bush varieties ...
