Kitchen Garden Forum

I was looking at Stephen,s photo of red cabbage and wondering why it seems to be such a rarely grown allotment vegetable and is not always readily available in shops either.

I love it, either finely shredded in coleslaw or as a cooked mixture with shredded onions and sliced apples, with a chopped smoked sausage mixed in. Perhaps it's because some of its colour vibrancy is lost in cooking, as happens with purple beans. Has anybody found a way of preventing that happening?

Hi All,

Monica has written to me, (she has my address from sending her the missing mag). She wants to report that she is fine, but her computer is not & hopefully it will resolved soon. Her computer is currently refusing her access to the website, the forums & pm's.

Oh that,s good news Westi. Probably very frustrating for her as she,s a regular contributor.
Interestingly I've also been having problems accessing the website for several weeks. . It used to remember me and let me in automatically but now I have to keep entering my name and password whenever I want to access the forum which is annoying.

Possibly a problem with my device because ai,m not technically very competent and don,t know how to fix these things, but is anybody else having access issues ?

That is brilliant news!

I have to keep logging in now, my Son said it’s where I have a new device and I keep closing Safari….means nothing to me…

OH, if you are on an Ipad, just say yes when it asks you to 'remember password' and it should log you in automatically after that.

Retropants. - thanks for that and Yes, I do ask my iPad to remember me, but its getting elderly now and probably like its owner suffers from the odd bout of dementia !

Ah, yes, mine is ancient too, cannot add any new apps, or update existing ones. Some websites do not even work at all. ASDA is one, which is frustrating trying to order shopping! KG, however seems to be fine, and it remembers me too (for now!)

Pity I still haven't managed to make my webcam available like I have my weather data (mind something wrong with that today) when we get mornings like this.

Just perfect, Geoff….what a beautiful picture!

O.H. Had a computer for some twelve years now. Still on my first year learning.

My PC operating system is a little dated but still works mostly...although I'm the middle of a provider email outage at the moment.... Started to be a bit wobbly mid week and only briefly had email on Friday morning...no service at the mo...

...anyway, my English Tools Ltd Bulldog spade is a stand alone system and has been operating quite stable this morning just needed an extra coffee input...

And it never needs updating.

If everything in life was so simple….

It is good to hear that Monika is OK. Long may it be so.

I did a few hours on the plot today. Moved and split the rhubarb, manuring the space heavily, packing it in around the replanted heads. Cut all the stalks off the jerusalem artichokes. Picked some salad leaves. Redug the ground where the spuds were finding a few escapees (does everyone miss some? I certainly do)

Not cold.
