I’m planning on filling the freezer with homemade ready meals for when we’re to knackered to cook after a day on the building site. 
So far I’m planning on bulk cooking curry, chilli con carne & soups. What else would freeze well?

WARNING 

I will completely abuse my powers as admin and ban anyone that suggests stew or casserole         
It is the food of the devil! And it’s disgusting .

Never give up on old seeds.

The title says it all.

I grew a couple of little chilli plants last year and picked a dozen or so red chillies and made chilli jam.
I then decided to grow more this year. I now have half a dozen big plants (varying varieties) in the greenhouse laden with green chillies. Just had 4 red chillies so far which have gone into curry. 
My question is what do I do with all the green chillies if they don't ripen soon. I do not have room for any plants in the house.

Hi Folks

When I was having my flu jab Thursday the chemist mentioned i should probably be eligible for the pneumonia jab as well.

Must admit I didn't even know there  was one, has anyone had it?

I have a dictionary by my bed (well, doesn't everyone?) If I come across a word when reading in bed that I've not met before or can't remember the meaning  of I look it up.
Now, I don't expect this to be an everyday occurrence but if we post any words that  crop up that are unusual we could see whether they are strange to each other and maybe spark a conversation. 

A recent word I had to look up was

CONTRAPUNTAL

without googling anyone  know what it means?

Perhaps we ought to explain the context too. I read this in relation to a heartbeat.

Another word that flummoxed OH the other evening was

APPURTENANCES

In relation to dismantling a steam engine and all its appurtenances.

Alternatively we could think up (real) words that might stump the rest of us which we could guess the meaning without the use of the internet

The New Challenge starts here.
We've I-Spyed what we have, now we're going to I-Spy what we don't have but wish we did. 
Imagine that a Genie with a magic lamp or your Fairy Godmother or The Boss will grant you one wish daily. You can wish for anything you'd like to have in your garden as long as it starts with the appropriate letter of the Alphabet. 
Tell us what you'd like and why. Be inventive.. For example you might like an Apple tree, an Air Raid shelter or an Anteater - but why????

Tomorrow is A

OK absolutely no offence intended to this brilliant but excessively convoluted site I have a question that has put me, the one brain cell wonder off visiting more regularly. 

I find that the huge amount of sub division’s within the site off putting. There are so many categories that even I, the owner of limited intellect get bored. 

Off to hide for the next decade or two.

Afternoon all.

I have sow broad beans in my schedule for next week, but the bed that will be early beans and peas still has pumpkins growing in it that may still produce harvestable fruit. Normally I'd give it another week to see how the pumpkins do, but I'm going to be away for almost three weeks, so I'm thinking of sowing them now in big pots and then transplanting maybe in November. 

In general. I've found pot-sown broadies do less well, but last year we had torrential rain from mid October up until December so it was impossible to work the ground (heavy, very heavy clay!) and I missed the boat with autumn sown broadies. Spring sown never do so well.

What to do?!!

Morning Folks

First year growing and I think I should have picked them earlier as they seem a bit tough.

Any suggestions how I can use them?
