Hey There Cayuga---Wait until the leaves have been frost-bitten and die. You then cut these off. You can leave these lie or not...but make a mulch...
Condolences Philip. That will be a bit difficult for you and your mate. A good and loved neighbour means a lot. We have a saying here ----"A good...
Hiya Cayuga, It sounds like things are going according to schedule there. Wasn't that fun-- sneaking a lil bite of asparagus there in the garden....
I have tried it with no success at all.
Thanks JANE--I had not thought of preserving colour. I shall consult my bride on that, KK--she likes the pickled flavour, but I am not crazy...

I do not know which one I have as I bought it from a chap selling on the side of the road. He only knew it as the Cape Fuchsia and nothing more. I...
That is a superb foto, Ronni. The more that I look at it, the more impressive I find it.
Yeah EILEEN-- I'm well chuffed with those as well. This id the first year that it has produced anything worthy of writing home about. Tomorrow...
What great foto's Carolyn. You got to see some of the popular sites there, didn't you. But when you stopped, it was like a commercial break on the...
Harvested sprouts and apples...fed the birds and set up the nature camera.
We did a lightening visit to the allotment today. It was wet, windy and cold...but I wanted to set the wild cam up and feed the birdies. There was...
