Having had the first (and hopefully only) snow of winter, my happy thought was that, I have enough food in the house to last until the new year, probably longer. May run out of milk ( but have powdered) and bread (have a bread maker and flour). I'd just like a fine day on Wednesday when my car goes for its MOT and then I'm going to hibernate.
I envy the animals that can curl up somewhere snug for a few months and sleep the cold spell away. Are there any more wishful hibernators around?

I seem to have amassed a lot of different onion seeds. Apart from some being white and others red, I'm not sure how they differ. 
Which onions do you recommend growing from seed and when do you sow them please?

Tribal People Try is a Youtube channel for a group of Tribal Villagers who are asked to eat something that is alien to them - like KFC or Scotch egg. Its quite comical - the phrases they use to describe the taste and texture of these foods. 

One of my favourites is Marmite

I've been given 5 punnets of Sensation strawberries tonight.  They're huge - twice the size of some Elsanta strawberries in another punnet.
My question is - what are my chances of growing strawberry plants from fruits and how would you go about it?

Anybody got any idea what could be causing these large holes in our damson tree.
The holes are one and a half inches across, and three inches deep.
They are close to some fungus that we have chiselled away and treated with blue Bordeaux mixture.

Just curious to know who eats what with Christmas Dinner.

Don't think I could eat a whole tree though.

I’ve just seen a post on Facebook from a seed company. That Royal Mail are advising them to make the 12th the last day for posting anything for the big day. If that only applies to companies or not I don’t know. Just thought I’d let you know.
