Re: How does your garden grow?Thank you for the courgette information, Mo. We have had rain almost all the pas seven days. The lady from the Garden Club came yesterday and planted around one hundred onion plants. So my veg plot is looking quit good. I went out after breakfast and did a fair bit of tidying in the old rasp patch. ...
Re: How does your garden grow?I was talking to someone in the village yesterday about the courgettes which someone from the garden club has planted in Ted's old veg patch. I told her that I had been watering them when there was no rain, and she said that she had been told that they don't need much water, or the flowers may rot. ...
Re: How does your garden grow?My hanging baskets are looking as if they are starting to go over. Photos have been taken of them, they have given me such joy. I sewed my third attempt of dwarf runner beans, and they are growing well. Tomatoes still flowering, but no fruit yet. A clematis Jackmanii whic I cut back heavily last yea...
Re: How does your garden grow?I have repotted my honeysuckle, grown from a seed today. Then taken half a dozen honeysuckle cuttings, dipped half in rooting powder and the rest in water,as per instructions on You Tube.
Started saving borrage and nasturtium seeds for next year.
Re: How does your garden grow?My pears have no fruit for the second year in a row, and despite blossom, my apple trees look grim with curled leaves.
Re: Spicing up the cookingIt is making my mouth water, LL.
Re: How does your garden grow?Last year my rasps were futile, and this year there were no flowers at all, possibly due to the canes becoming choked up in places with buttercups, which had twined round the stems. So this morning I took long handled shears and cut rasps and buttercups right down. I had put cardboard between the ro...
Re: How does your garden grow?My garden this summer has looked fairly good. Lot of colour from nasturtiums and antirrhinums, the latter a birthday present. Very disappointed in the multi coloured lupins, which have all been purple, just sown some Russell lupin seeds so hopeful for next year. I have used several red geraniums, wh...
Re: And so it begins........Colorado beetlesWe got the beetles on our lilies each year, a case of hunt the beetle, but as the lilies appear not to have survived, I will not be having to search and kill them. They are a pretty thing, though, but cause so much damage.
Re: Where might you see?Out of my misery at last, although I have never heard of the place! Thanks Mo.
Re: Where might you see?Somewhere in Wales? Have done the circle twice, but no wiser.
Re: What are you listening to?I listen to Classic FM at home and when I am travelling, interspersed with Radio Humberside. The latter for the local news, I am not a fan of the music. I do watch music on You Tube, recently The Bee Gees, classical arias, and recently I have managed to identify some beautiful guitar music, which is...
Re: Where might you see?120 miles from Doncaster - North York Moors? I tried the circle, but gave up!
Re: Coronation QuicheWhose standard, Silverback? My sons always rag me about my cooking. Before I married Ted, my youngest son kindly informed him that "she always burns the carrots".
Re: Coronation QuicheThe quiche is now in the freezer waiting for the big day. It took longer than the given time to set in the oven though.
