I'm not Scottish but my late wife was, so I developed a taste for haggis!
Lid Hell have Scottish haggis for £1! Burns night Saturday.

According to this-

perhaps we're too impatient!

I tried celeriac two years running, different varieties, with the same results as you.
I had the same results with swede, in fact it turns out no one on our allotments have ever been very successful with either. There has to be something lacking in the soil?
I can grow amazing carrots though!

I pruned the soft fruit bushes only to find lots of red currants!

Son of Morris closes at 5pm, Sane spurires at 6pm, and Has-daas at 7pm ( we don't have Tess Coze) so it's a walkabout tomorrow!

I don't have a TV but I pulled this up on iPlayer. The huge variety of wild life and the last breeding ground for tigers all threatened by loggers! Let's hope they can persuade them to get some sort of protection.

Now you tell me, I was in there today !

Most of the winter dig done now, just a case of hoeing and pruning. Roll on spring! http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp141/Flatters_photos/Photo0383_zpse767211a.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp141/Flatters_photos/Photo0382_zps8d8941b4.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp141/Flatters_...

Corrugated plastic was the idea, the units are very heavy!

The council flats I live in are having all new PVC windows, replacing well made hard wood frames. All the way from the rain forest to be thrown away and replaced with plastic! I've had a chat with the boss man, and because they didn't do mine when they said they would, he's promised me four full pat...

Thanks for that!
Just found some packet soup at the back of the cupboard with 2012 sell by, so I've got a start!

Trick or treaters will run for it this year!

I've already invested, keeps your nose warm too! Found it on Amazon, £20 including P&P. The heating's turned off and I'm literally as snug as a bug in a rug!

My pal on the allotments stores saved seeds in the foil type bags you get cup-a soup in, which is the sort of material the little inner bags in seed packs are made from. I've just done a fruitless search for suitable bags. Lots of polythene and paper but not foil! I suppose I shall have to start loo...

It's pretty much over now bar the shouting! Quite a few leeks still in, a few carrots, the best I've ever grown and no fly (nantes), cape gooseberries that are not likely to ripen and some yellow courgettes for cake making. I had to rip out the outdoor girl tomatoes and burn them due to blight. The ...
