I've picked up another random selection of FREE food from the Prawn Lady so I thought I'd ask you for suggestions on how you would use it! Quite challenging today. 

Avocado x 9
Celery heads x 2
Lemons x 9
Herbs - Mint, Dill, Parsley
Rainbow carrots
Small pots of Sage butter (for pasta) x 4
Wholemeal loaf.

PS I'm not a big fan of celery!

..............as the title says!

I'm Fluffy Nugget or Sleepy Nugget. 

Google lens didn’t help. But then it does look like many different varieties. So can anyone ID this please?

    It’s a ground cover ( spread well ) . It’s one of the plant Bob brought home yesterday.

I’ve identified the other plant he brought home as London pride saxifraga x urbium

When do you know your sweetcorn is ready for picking? I’m starting to think it might be a bit late for it to get to fully ripe. I definitely have one cob on each plant but don’t know what signs to look for to say it’s really. 
I picked 4 big fat slug of the plants this morning. Even with all the defences I put in place.

I haven't seen him posting for a while, unless I have missed his posts? Hope he's OK?

Come back Admin, alli s forgiven!

I harboured the thought of putting up a picture of P, as the pest but thought better of it  

Here's a picture from our local 'Nextdoor' website.  It says the insects are on a Norwegian spruce and elsewhere. I can't find anything on Google about aphids or weevils with a white bum. Can anyone shed any light what they are? Unfortunately I've no further information.

   

Another I-SPY exploring our Senses. This time, its an Alphabet of Sounds, Noises (not Noses!!) that you hear, remind you of something, somewhere etc etc. waffle, waffle........

Happy Birthday Can, Hope you have a sunshiny day with lots of whatever you enjoy. 
Pop in and say Hello, we miss your photos and adventures in the bog. x

Other women buy shoes or handbags - my weaknesses are seeds and books.  When its raining or during dark evenings, I think of a word or theme and search the secondhand book sites - my favourites are AwesomeBooks and Music Magpie - both have FREE P&P. These books have just been delivered. Where to start? They cost £23 for 7 books and they're all like new.

"The Way Home. Tales from a life without technology" - Mark Boyle who wrote "The Moneyless Man" and the inspiration for the Moneyless Chicken.
"Free. Adventures on the margins of a wasteful society. What happens when you walk away from everything you think you can't live without".- Katharine Hibbert.
"Adventures in Opting out - A Field Guide to leading an Intentional Life". - Cait Flanders.
"Seaweed and eat it. A family foraging and eating adventure" Fiona Houston & Xa Milne
"The Weeders Digest. Identifying and enjoying edible weeds" - Gail Harland. I like her books and this one has pictures!
"The new English Kitchen. How to make your food go further" - Rose Prince. Like the look of this one - although quite a lot of meat recipes that I'll ignore. Even ways to keep lettuce for longer and to use it in soup!!
"Diary of a Modern Country Gardener. Secrets for every season straight from the Potting shed " Tamsin Westhorpe. She lives and works on the family farm "Stockton Bury" which also has a garden open to the public. Looks quite humorous. 

PS. My last theme was "Zero-Waste". I now own several books like Zero Waste Kitchen, even Zero Waste Gardening!!
