My son has built a fruit frame onto my raised bed that my blueberries grow in.
I’m very happy I can now get more ericaceous compost and replant 3 and 3 bushes and 1 cranberry bush in each section.

Ok everyone I need you using your imagination  Big Grin .

Let’s pretend that halfway through the growing season you’ve got to.
 1 move every thing you’re growing 
 2 everything you grow has to down size to fish boxes and limited on space to put fish box. 
 3 everything you do grow can only be cooked on the hob ( if it needs cooking) 

Which varieties of veg do you grow?

Bob was telling me yesterday about some survey/ report/ program ( don’t know wasn’t paying attention to that bit  Big Grin ) that says the average meal in a UK home takes 20 minutes to prepare! I find this a little disturbing. Does the whole country open a packet and wait for the bing of the microwave?! I find it hard because last night we had one of the quickest meals we do. A re heat roast with a few extra fresh veggies to bulk it up. It still took 27 minutes.
I have no Idea what our average time would be preparing a meal. It’s definitely more than 20 minutes! 
What about you?

How much do they pay the people to produce these glaring errors?
Don’t they have proof readers any more??
