Aaaaaah, 'The Gardeners' Rest' - I'll have a pint of whatever please....

I think we've got a couple of months to wait tho...

(I'm sure we could open for a preview following the birth of pea and pod????...need to speak with the landlord aka Piglet!
...I'm sure we'd all like a preview of the renovated premises???..how is the new front door coming along piglet???( again!!!)

..could I suggest a fresh coat of pinot g on one wall...and rose rhubarb schnapps on the wall to the right of the bar?? ( just a suggestion of course!!)
Oh..and just in case of an emergency...how about a nut roaster for the fireplace???)

[weekendwellies]

don't feel bad Granny - I sometimes come in, read and clear off without a peep

Me too !! I thought I was the only one that did that.

And it has been fairly quiet on here since the start of Sept. So when I have posted something, no-ones been along to read it.
Either that or everyone's got fed up with me and are giving me the cold shoulder.

Aren't they? The sort of people who say if you're on benefits you should be flogged, or that people in China/Indonesia who get caught up in floods/earthquakes shouldn't live there.
aka Daily Mail readers

I joined it too, but never go there. Atmosphere not as nice as here.

I could/have() spent all day on here in the past...just depends on the call of he wild ( garden that is!!)

( you'd never believe that I too often read and sit on my hands before posting...would you?????)

I think we should open early to wet the babies' heads.

Oh thank you Nicos... at least someone loves me

It is the season for the preserving for the long cold winter ahead you are right, I hadnt though of that.

By the way... I found a cool site of Amish recipes. Anyone interested?

Amish Recipes

((Thought Amish were against all this techno stuff ))

[Nicos]

Those look yummy WW..you should start a thread on the noshy thread so all can share!
( cups = ??...I get SOOOoo confused!)

my neighbours here keep turning up with produce- peaches, walnuts, apples. plums,pears,hazelnuts,squash, cider...etc....I've never had to prepare so much fresh food to keep over the next few months!!!...mind you- there's a HUGE feel good factor involved!

I use this site. Its a bit complex at 1st glance, but it makes sense when you've looked at it for a little while.

American cooking - weights and measures

There is a link somewhere for the ingredients conversion too.

[Nicos]

nighty night!

[zazen999]

WW - Amish tomato soup - warms the cockles.

We had an Amish cookbook growing up; and I used to use quite a few of their recipes....happy days.

I saw that Amish website a few weeks ago and thought the same thoughts about using technology........but hey ho - ones does what one does.....

WOT!? Sit on your hands LOL!

I am clearly a woman of many skills!!

Hi Ginger Ninger just been reading your question I am new to this site, this is Bob Elm by the way and I think that finding your way around the site and knowing in which section to put your thoughts I suppose that's in (general chitchat) and questions can be a bit uneasy.
I have a question for you or anybody else who can help where can you buy peat pots for peas, beans etc etc cheap enough and in bulk or is there a device that could be bought or made that could do the job in a reasonable time?
How do you get the photo onto the top left of your window?
And where do the terms like"germinator" etc etc come from, who gives these terms out?
As I say I'm new to this and would like to take part given a bit of knowledge about the site.
Bob Elm (am I doing this right?)

Hi Bob,
Loo rolls make great pots for things like peas apparently. I tend to sow directly into 3" pots myself which I then put in a propagator to germinate.
If you really want peat pots you can pick them up from places like wilkinsons, poundstretcher (Instore) or from garden centres/B&Q type places.
You can add photos on your profile. If you click on your name in the top right hand corner of the screen it will take you there. Have a browse, you can even add albums
Terms like germinator simply correspond to the number of posts you've made. The more you talk the more developped you become
Welcome to the vine, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
