" OK, great, did not expect to bring my daughter for free at all.  I suppose a M should be OK on the t-shirt front.  Looking forward to it.  Caroline "

"Very interesting. I have been having a mid-morning snack of about half a dozen almonds for several years now. I must have read how good they are for middle-aged women for very similar reasons as you state. Would you recommend switching to hazelnuts?…"

Soap

Not food, obviously. I switched some time ago from shower gel in plastic packaging to soap. I was thrilled to go into Sweet Joe Pye today and be able to by soap by Faith in Nature with absolutely no packaging at all attached to it! Perhaps you have all been doing likewise for ages but if you know of any other places I can buy unpackaged soap I'd been keen to know.

Over-wintering veg

Posted on August 18, 2009 at 21:00 5 Comments

Does anyone have a good source of plants, not seeds, that I can buy to put in my plot. Say, onions, garlic, green stuff or anything else that might survive the winter. I have only ever grown summer crops so have no experience of what to grow through the winter. Everton Nurseries do not have any. There are various on-line sites but am nervous to buy from a source I do not know.

Free seeds

My lettuce are the only ones I have not yet planted as I already had a few of my own in so wanted to stagger my planting. I have sown my courgettes and squash in pots inside and they (all but one of the squash) are about 2inches high. I have also sown the chard, again indoors, and put it out at the weekend. Looking a bit weepy, but hopefully will pick up. I have put my, enormous, runner beans straight into the ground, last weekend, and despite constant very close up observation, have yet any… Continue

Locally sourced food

Posted on April 29, 2009 at 13:56 5 Comments

I was doing very well at eating a lot of locally grown veg until Laverstock Park closed. Anyway, I have not switched to another farm shop, just gone back to Waitrose. I have all sorts planted in my garden and always have grown what I could with the space I had. I shall endeavour to grow what I can. What is so wrong with slug pellets? Can anyone tell me please. Thanks.
