Good afternoon all you bakers out there. When i make bread it always seems to look yellowish/off white in colour and i was wondering why this is. The bread in the shops always looks so white. I use white bread flour - usually shops own brand. I can only think that the shops must put something into t...

Thanks Helen

I agree, it's looking really pretty, you dont need to feel guilty at all.

That is magic! Thank you both. The pictures have given me more confidence about how it should look

Thanks both of you. Sorry to be a pain but is it best to have clear plastic or the plastic that looks "frosted" - i am thinking probably the frosted? I'm glad you mentioned diging the bottom of the frame in - i have visions of it ending up on the M4 - which wouldn't be far for a poly tunne...

I would need to know where you are.

Jo

Mallard - i know this is a bit off topic but was your poly tunnel easy to put up? Do you recommend them? I'm thinking of getting one but dont know how long they last - it would be helpful to have your thoughts. Thank you.

Ditto - my house is on the market and it's difficult to feel inspired but i have plodded on and have put a lot of veg in this year. We'll see what happens - at the end of the day it's still where i live and i try not to spend any money keeping it up together.

When i "feed" the other pot plants i just use a phostragen (sp) feed, it's in an orange coloured box - if thats any help - and i just use this on the figs and they seem happy enough. At the moment there are lots of little figs (just slightly larger than a peanut) on my main plant. Am tryin...

I took some of Saras broad beans and runner beans - they have all come up and are looking sooooo good! I would have liked to have a try with the melons and a couple of other things but i dont have a greenhouse to do anthing justice. Big thank you to Al - I thoroughly enjoyed looking through all the ...
