I have a small 8x6 greenhouse on my allotment plot. Along one side I grow tomatoes . Along the other side I have a bench running the full length and in the past, as well as using it for starting stuff like leeks , onions and brassicas in seed trays, I usually fill it with large pots of chillies and peppers.
This year I have come to the conclusion I don't really need all these chillies and peppers and I was wanting to try summat else for a change? It doesn't have to be a single veg and I am not averse to growing flowers.

I just wondered whether you lot had any ideas of what to grow that was interesting and possibly productive on the greenhouse bench during the summer?

Wishing you all a happy and healthy growing year in 2021

Get ready to see 2021 in with an I-SPY look in your food stores - cupboards, fridge, freezer. What can you find? 
Starting tomorrow with, of course, A.

Enjoy your New Year and don't eat everything tonight or you won't be able to play tomorrow.

I would like to grow some chrysants this coming year it has been number of years since I last grew them, so need to buy some, sadly all the people that I knew that went in for them are no longer here, so looking for recommendations of growers, not fussy about a big name grower as a long as they have early varieties and do mail order, the lates need protection here and I don't have the space for that T. I. A.

What eating treats do you or your OH buy only at Christmas?   I buy Cheese Footballs, puff pastry straws, Turkish delight and fudge for P.  It's maltesers, Lindor, cambazola cheese and butter for me.  Mind you, we are eating these things up after Christmas  when in reality we should be cutting back and getting back to our pre-Christmas weight.

I've decided mine is a fried egg between two sliced of buttered toast. Naturally I spread the yolk out so I get a bit of yolk in every bite!

The 2021 Seed and Plant Catalogues have started tumbling through the door. 

Let's review them - their appearance, quality, offers and suitability for recycling.
Anything taken your fancy yet?

I had Chiltern Seeds before Christmas - one of my favourites. Lots of words, few pictures, some humour and you learn Latin. A Keeper.

T&M arrived yesterday - 3 catalogues, probably a lot of duplication. Haven't opened them - not tempted. Probably be in recycling next week.

Marshalls (?and Unwins) came today. Really attractive paper envelope covered with illustrations of flowers and veg. Would make great recycled seed envelopes. Who could resist their "Little Book of Seeds 2021"?
Well illustrated and general advice on where to sow/plant/harvest. Useful.

Anyone have any idea what these horrible looking things are, please? 
Looks like eggs???
Appeared in last couple of days.
Have put a 10p and 5p to give an idea of size.
Thought about throwing them in pond for goldfish??
Whoops having trouble adding a photo!
Keeps saying too big even though I’ve edited it to make it much smaller

When on the computer I have come across a lot of sites which asks that you accept cookies, as I haven't a clue what these are I just leave the site and try somewhere else, but that is getting more and more difficult to do that, so can anyone tell me what cookies are and what they will do to my computer, in simple terms please

Here in the south we don't get much snow, and when we do it is an EVENT.  Let's have some pictures from the rest of you where you get some real weather, not the stuff we wish washy southerers get.

We had a very light dusting yesterday and it's all gone today so no pics from me.
