Since I have become a carer for OH I do all the cooking. The one thing I do enjoy making and eating are PIES!

I think I have made all the usual,corned beef, steak, Ham n egg and I have a cheese and onion pie in the oven at the mo. I normally just google a recipe for whatever I have in the cupboard.

I was just wondering what were peoples 'Go-to' pies that were cheap and easy to make? They don't have to be savoury as I quite like sweet pastries and fruit as well.

Ta very much in anticipation.

I have been watching various online videos on growing onions....sad I know!

It appears American growers prune back the top growth by about 50% when the sets start to swell. This apparently stimulates the onion to swell more. Anyone tried it?

Sorry if this has been asked before, what's the difference?

Morning Folks

I intend to pot on my blueberries and think going from a 30 to 40cm pot will suffice?

Next time they move will be into the ground, probably in autumn/winter.

New additions to the family after being “catless since August.
Those five months were the first time in forty years that we hadn’t had a furry friend around.
Note the lovely hydrangeas Vanilla Fraises in the vase. Picked those in the summer and they still look good.

Hi all,

Now that we have a Morr*sons near us, I have been spying some of the MFBs on offer (8 for 99p, I think). They look about 35 cm or 14 inches high, something like that. I imagined them a bit bigger, for some reason. I usually need more pots for chillies, peppers, tomatoes, melons, in the GH, but I'm not sure what is a good fit for this size pot.

In any case, I'm wondering what you grow in this size pot.

Please fill my head with ideas for GH growing!

Thanks

Hi all,

In the past, I've had White Lisbon seeds from various mixed seeds packs that we grew for spring onions. Is there any other variety you grow as spring onions? Can anything be a spring onion if harvested at the right time?

In an aside, I have some little white/purple alliums that are growing around my plot. I think they might be bulbed up White Lisbon but I'm not sure! Must be more organized next year! (This year!)

Thanks!

The Plains Indians practised polygamy, and one chief had three wives

The first wife lived in a tepee of elk hide
the second in a tepee
made of buffalo hide, 
and the youngest in a tepee of hippopotamus hide.

He slept with each wife on the eve of his great hunting trip.

He was gone nine moons and when he returned, he went into the elk hide
tepee and found that his wife had borne him a son. Likewise, in the
buffalo hide tepee, that wife, too, had borne him a son. So, imagine
his surprise when he found twin baby boys in the hippopotamus hide
tepee.
This just proves that …


The Squaw on the Hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the Squaws on the other two hides.

OH thinks I have lost the plot...........she is probably right.

When I put stuff in the oven I always set the timer in case I forget.
