What does this mean? ;) - Veggie - 08-12-2020
What do these letters stand for and what do they have to do with next year?
I O U B L D R
If anyone works it out I'll be amazed but pleased.

Give us a clue!
RE: What does this mean? ;) - Veggie - 08-12-2020
OK RSFL/IOUBLDR

I owe you Balders... not all the vowels..
RE: What does this mean? ;) - Veggie - 08-12-2020
Very good, Bladders, but not even close.

"Ready Steady Fertilise Lettuce! I Often Use Bowel Leavings Down Rows."
Clearly you are planning to embrace the world of compost toilets in 2021.
Am I closer than Baldy?

Since Balders and Pros are the only ones who've attempted to work out what this means, I'll tell you..........Its my 2021 Action Plan.
Every week is either R, S, F or L
RSFL = Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves - but you know that already.
Every day of the week = IOUBLDR
I = IN the ground (something sown or planted)
O = OUT (something picked/)harvested)
U = USED (how the Picked item in Used)
B = Breakfast -_something from the garden eaten for breakfast
L= Lunch - ditto for lunch
D = Dinner - ditto for dinner
R = Random or Recycled
If I can tick all 7 of those jobs I'll award myself a Gold Star.
For example, today I managed _
I - sowed seeds and planted a leek base and some cuttings
O - 3 eggs, and Oca and some lettuce
U - 8 Eggs hardboiled for egg mayonnaise and to feed the dogs
B - an apple
L - Lettuce
D - Hard boiled egg
R - shredded paper for chook run
So its a GOLD STAR DAY.
All of this is going in my 17 Month undated Organiser - not a Diary as I beat myself up when there are no entries after March when I run out of enthusiasm.
Its good to have a plan.

Darnit! My first thought was In Out Under Behind... and then I got stuck for L. Maybe our brains are more in sync than I thought? (Which might mean compost toilets will be 2022 instead...)
RE: What does this mean? ;) - Veggie - 09-12-2020
By way of possible explanation, I've merged several random ideas that I've already raised with you together:-
Ins and Outs of Gardening
What I ate from the garden for B, L and D
Random ........always!!
