Re: A Note of Thanks and Update Info.

Pa Snip, I've only been on here a short while, and have already come to associate your posts with a smile, good humour and more often than not, an interesting new fact. I want to send words of comfort and support, but I'm really not good at that kind of thing. so instead, I'm going to do what I am g...

Re: Are suppliers taking the p..........roverbial !!!

With the price of garlic, £1 per bulb. Tempted to try a few supermarket bulbs alongside The home grown varieties. My local supermarket gives me a choice of Spanish or Chinese.

Dont know what the weathers been like for you, but here in shef, we've had a really warm september, which seems to have extended a lot of my crops and confused some plants into recropping (I got a second run on my tomatoes) You should have changed your location to somewhere cooler place like Chicag...

Re: Dividing sage

Re: Ikea Pottint Table!! Yes really!!
