Re: Foraging
Thankyou Primrose! It’s nail polish I’m going to tie them along some twine as a garland. A Christmas gift for a crafty friend.

Re: Foraging
Primrose, I am using them for crafting. They must be washed and dehydrated, a lot of them have bugs inside. I wouldn’t use them in the kitchen!

Re: Foraging
Primrose, I have been throwing cherry & peach stones into the undergrowth in our local park. You never know! I also have a couple of oak seedlings which I am planning to guerilla plant in the grass verge outside our house. There is an almost constant row of oaks along our road, but several fell ...

Re: Foraging
There's a lot of rosehips this year. I'm not sure what I'd do with them though!

Re: Foraging
I can normally be found in the local park with a bag and a pair of secateurs foraging for elderberries, acorns, blackberries and even nettles.

Re: Greenhouses
I'll ask my folks where they got theirs from, it was under 2K and pretty big, with double doors one end. They had to build it themselves, as assembly was extra! It's very nice though

My sister and I used to get force fed orange flavour cod liver oil as children. Absolutely ghastly!

Re: Clear the plot for winter or keep growing?
