What would you do with them - simple ideas please. Big Grin

  Clumping, easy perennials
Posted by: Veggie - 04-11-2022, 11:55 PM - Replies (12)

Suggestions wanted for no messing about perennials that will act as ground cover and need minimal weeding.  Something like perennial geraniums or Michaelmas daisies.
Bonus points for long flowering, bee-friendly, non dead-heading, attractive flowers.
I want to fill up odd spaces with undemanding flowers that are easy to grow. Don't mention montbretia or vinca please.

  Guess how much?
Posted by: Veggie - 31-10-2022, 07:47 PM - Replies (25)

Today I picked up a bag of assorted junk - it was much bigger and heavier than I expected.
In amongst the odds and ends was a tub of money - bank notes and coins. The Notes were Indian Rupees but I could see some UK coins in amongst the rest..
I messaged the donor and asked him if he had intended to put the money in the bag. 
His reply :-
Yeah, they're all foreign and I didn't have the time/energy to sort them. Hopefully they're worth something.

1. How much do you think the UK coins were worth?

2. How many different currencies were there

3. Can you guess what they are? Big Grin

  DIY candles
Posted by: Veggie - 27-10-2022, 07:12 PM - Replies (22)

I know there's been some chatter about making candles on the Reduce etc thread but I thought I'd start a dedicated thread to gather knowledge from you crafty lot. 
I've collected a bag of part used candles in jars and loose wax and want to melt it down and remake it into candles again. I need to source some wicks so wondered whether you had any recommendations. 
Vinny was talking about making candles - did you and how did it go?
