Celeriac.... shudder Celery..... cringe Not too keen on swede or turnip on their own but in stews and casseroles etc,. I don't mind it. I love young, tender Runner beans and my very favourite vegetables are Brussels Sprouts. I'll eat most anything else really. Ah, yes celery. Absolutely detest that...

good lord really? I had better start drinking baileys then

Raw tomatoes do not do it for me either. I wish I liked them, but I just cannot abide the taste! Not overly keen on courgettes, I use them as a filler to bulk up other things.

have a fabulous birthday Primrose

We'll, we got well and truly bertha'd at the craft market today! Home now, shoes drying on the back doorstep, it is blowing an absolute hooley out there now, after torrential rain, then hot sun, rinse repeat.......

Not sure about Bertha! I have an outdoor craft fair tomorrow, so I have my fingers crossed, but I'm not too hopeful!

try blogspot.com or blogger.com, there are lots of blog templates out there I have one for my soap business, but I am so busy, I rarely add to it, I don't think I've been on there for nealry 6 months, probably longer!

what's the best type of mini-cuke please, out of interest? all our normal sized ones are sooooo big this year, it's not funny!

I leave mine on

found a couple with BER yesterday. re: regular watering, my allotment is 10 minute drive away, and I work full time, so watering every day is not practical or possible, although when it is really hot, we do try!

No rain for us, although it was forecast. It is quite blowy however, and there have been lots of heavy dark clouds rolling over.

How was the soup?

happy birthday chaps

no OH, they are in the greenhouse border.

we always get BER, tried Roma, San Marzano (variations of SM), Scattalone, etc etc, all got it.

I use a lot of plum tomatoes for cooking - I like to jar lots of sauces to last me through the year - as the only person to eat them raw is my dad!

oh, and we picked 15 more cucumbers last week. I am keeping a tally on my calender! over 25 so far since the beginning of July.
