How do you store your newly collected seeds?

   

I store in a selection to tubs , pots & bags. Depends on the seeds and how dry they are. Eventually they get cleaned, bagged and labelled.

                       

Any idea what this will turn into. I’m going big daisy type. If anyone can narrow it down more, I’d be very impressed and greatful .

Ok so we were given 12 hours notice that the decorator was coming into our temporary accommodation to paint the bathroom, kitchen & utility. This isn’t a problem to use. They’re doing us a massive favour and we know how disorganised they are   .
When said decorator walks in with a fag in his mouth!   , do you offer him a coffee? Asking for a friend     .

Am I right in thinking it's a certain blonde from the Isles birthday today?  If I'm right - and I know I get these things wrong sometimes  - happy birthday SC. What's the present this year, pneumatic drill, whacker pad, an even bigger and better nail gun??

Has anyone tried or grown pineapple strawberries? They came up in conversation this evening. I didn’t know they were a thing. After googling. Plants are available. Just wondering if anyone has experience of them. They appeal to me. I like pineapple & I can grow strawberries 

I've been reading some FB posts about Vinegar that is used for pickling, The author (may be in the US) says that vinegar manufactures have reduced the acidity percentage in some vinegars from the standard 5% used for pickling to 4%. 

Its a miserable day out so I thought I'd entertain myself by organising my tins of food into date order so that I use the oldest stuff first. I found a few surprising items that may appear on this week's menus. The oldest tin maybe older than some of our members. 
I have 3 tins beside me - would anyone like to guess what they are and their Best Before Dates? 

Today and the rest of the week I’ll be working with Bob. Helping with the strimmer work on all his gardening jobs. Because he’s an old cripple at the moment, with a buggered knee. The twisting motion of strimming isn’t doing him a lot of good. So in desperation he asked me to help. 

This is the view from the first garden

   

View from the second garden. I am actually stood on the lawn to take these photos.

         

Garden 3. This one was great. Not much strimming, did some apple scrumping ( the most stunning looking apple tree I’ve ever seen. Beautiful bright red apples. Love flavour, absolutely disgusting floury texture    , they’ll make a great crumble ), collected some alstroemeria seeds & took a rose cutting. I’ll be asking about that on the rose thread very soon.

   

Unashamedly pinching a Subscription Box idea (5 packets of flower seeds to sow each month in order to grow and make bunches of flowers to give away -  £30 a month for the pleasure).
I suggest that we do something similar at a much lower price (unless you want to send me £30 a month for the idea ).

Tell us what flower seeds you plan to sow during the month - preferably cheap, easily available and easy to grow seeds. Then we each decide which 5 flowers we'll sow and, of course, grow them. In a few months time, when we have some actual flowers, we'll share some bouquet photos with each other and boast about how well we've done.
We can start this month, even though we're a week into September but, probably better to work a month in advance to give ourselves time to find the seeds!

Hope this makes sense! If it does, its a miracle.

My London daughter is looking to plant a short length of hedging, 3 to 6 metres and is looking for something that would only need trimming once a year and ideally have some edible interest for herself or possibly wildlife. It is quite sunny with, I suspect, poor soil.
