Ok, thanks Peter!

still popping up on a loop.

Huh?

Yes, the cookie pop up hasn’t stopped popping up! Thought it was just me.

Westi, I don't dig anymore. I just can't sustain it :( So I just add to the top and take weeds out as they come. I only have a little plot, so not too much work. I've just put a nice thick layer of manure on the surface, and will let the frost & worms take it down. It all gets a little shuffle w...

I’ve ordered all new strawberry plants (bare root) hopefully the leaf miner/chafer won’t come back.

Oops, me too. I’m going to look him up on instagram!

rant away, it will help.

Nowt so funny as folk Stravaig! My 86yr old neighbour won't accept any help whatsoever, even when she's ill. I think my dh managed to take over mowing the lawn one day last summer, but that's about it. She is very determined. We've been neighbours for over 26 years, and she is very nice. I can't eve...

thankyou! still got a residual cough, but am back at work today

Geoff, I’ve just bought a 1kg tub for £8.99 on Amazon. It’s probably cheaper in a shop, but I’ve been ill and unable to get out. I was pretty shocked at that price too, but as I only have a small patch, 1 kg should last me a while. Good luck.

Thankyou for the good wishes, just a quiet one this year as we are still getting over the flu.

Happy new year to you all. I’ll be happy with some bags of strulch, and for the ground to dry out a bit, so I can go and play!

We have been suffering from the flu since last week, but I did manage to cook some roasties etc for lunch yesterday and we have plenty left for bubble & squeak today - my DH’s favourite. Hope you all have a relaxing day today. X

I was going to make a veggie wellington, but we both have the flu and it’s hanging around like a bad smell. Ironic, as I’ve lost my sense of smell and taste . I’ve no idea if I will be up to cooking a roast, but hope to.
