Chantal, talking of free food the hawthorn is going to break bud soon.

Do you have a copy of "Food for Free" by Richard Mabey?

A fascinating read.

It was a jocular question old chap. Is it a touchpad mouse on the laptop? They seem sometimes to be affected by the heat of your hand if youn tend to leave it resting on the surrounding area. Certainly my work laptop the cursor starts to wander off in a straight line all be itself and the only cure ...

To answer our "guest", who seems ashamed of his/her choice.

I was being a/. polite, b/. seem to remember a custom/habit/rule not to mention other publications on this website, or was that just on the old version of the forum?

Oh, and Peter, unless you've changed your identity, you DON'T live next door to me... Now I'm really confused. Chantal are you trying to destabilise the rest of us? I've never claimed to live next door to you, I know I've had a few senior moments this week, but I'm damm sure of where I live. Is you...

Chantal, I do hope your neighbour never reads this web site, or she might just use them for one of the two purposes described. :twisted:

Crown Prince Squash £1.99 for six seeds. Never ever do that myself. Surely you are liable to disturb and break the roots of the remaining plant and leave behind broken roots from the removed plant . To my mind this disturbance and creation of openings for disease are pointless. Just plant more than ...

In the greasy spoon opposite work one day, person not native to these isles wandered in and ordered a bacon sandwich using the odd word with much sign language.

Person wandered outside, had fag, came back in, pointed at nearly cooked bacon and said "Is halal?"

Found it.

Been having a long term "senior moment" this week and nagging feeling that there was another very useful resource.

Tidying my study to install my new scanner I found it! A faded printout from http://www.farmgarden.org.uk/ari/index. ... =view&id=5


Go there and enjoy.
