  100 pushups a day in January!
Posted by: Vinny - 31-12-2025, 01:46 PM - Replies (18)

Hi all, I have just lumbered myself with a challenge for Cancer research of 100 push ups a day for all of January 2026. I normally do 10 push ups at once so will need to do these throughout the days. Hopefully I will be able to increase the amount I am doing at once each day so I won't need to do them as ofter?

I have a Just Giving page which I would like you to add to if, and only IF, you could afford it? I have started with a £30 donation but any amount would be appreciated.
I will of course be contacting family and friends through what'sapp and also the team I do my excercises with once we start again on 6th January. 3100 press ups are a tall order so wish me luck in getting my goal of £150 for Cancer research.

Many thanks in anticipation and I will add the link for any donations.

  1500 year old Cave beans
Posted by: Veggie - 26-12-2025, 05:40 PM - Replies (4)

Premier Seeds are selling 1500 year old Cave beans.  Hope they're still viable.  Wink

https://premierseedsdirect.com/product/b...cave-bean/

Joking aside, they look interesting and at a good price - £1.39 for 30 beans.  A big difference to She Grows Veg who want £5.50 for 30 beans! https://shegrowsveg.com/product/french-b...cave-bean/

Has anyone grown these? Need to know before I invest in some!

  Sowing onions on Boxing Day
Posted by: Veggie - 26-12-2025, 12:10 PM - Replies (1)

Traditionally Onion seeds are sown on Boxing Day.   Does anyone here actually do that? 
If so, do you sow then because its a good day for sowing - or because it gets you out of the house and the clearing up after yesterday?         Or any other reason?

  Oca, Mashua, Chinese & Jerusalem Artichokes

Oca, Mashua, Yacon, Chinese & Jerusalem Artichokes,  can all be regrown from harvested roots. Potatoes too, but they have their own thread!
This thread is for the oddbods. 

I acquired an Oca and a Mashua plant this year and planted each one in a 30 litre pot. Both are ready to harvest now and I've just taken a Mashua tuber from the pot.
