Hi Westi, how about enchilada sauce?I found a lovely recipe on pinterest (part of a complete dish recipe) I'll see if I can find it for you

I'm still picking tomatoes & the peppers are finally ripening. The french beans are done and are coming out this week. WInter brassicas and leeks are just getting into their stride! I have 4 large chilli plants in the greenhouse which are absoltuely smothered, I may need to make some paste or sa...

I think I'd still sink a large pot into the gravel area, just to keep it under control.

I’ve got some kalettes, which last year lasted for months. One PSB survived the slugs, so hopefully we’ll get a bit of that in Jan/Feb. Leeks coming along nicely too. I only have a teeny plot, so can only grow a little.

I'll try that next time I empty mine! thanks for the good idea.

Yes, we are! We have a robin that chips away until we feed him, he is often buzzing around in front of the door trying to get our attention. Also the doves pootle up the patio looking for us.

Have a great birthday Robo!

1” wide? That’s quite big, I was thinking pigeon or dove perhaps. Is it white or blue? Hard to tell.

I m currently using cheap ikea nets to cover my brassicas.

It’s a Yucca Myrkk. Also can be a houseplant, but can survive outdoors. Mine flowered every years for a few years, but it got too big and I had to remove it.

ISn't Ocado now selling M&S goods Stravaig?

I love scram eggs! We have one of those speckled non stick pans, I think from Lidl. Nothing sticks, I think it's classed as ceramic.

The roots and fruits were OK, but, yes,t he leaves were like wire frameworks, no actual leaf left at all.

I can recommend Joan J. We had these at our allotment, and some were moved to my parents new house when they moved to Dorset. they are thriving, huge and abundant berries, which taste great. Fairly rampant though, so beware!

I hope it's not strawberry chafer grubs Westi? I've had to bin all my starwberries as it was getting worse each year, and the grubs overwinter in the soil. Mine were all in large buckets, so will disinfect them and start again from scratch.
