Green Manure On A Roll

I must look for my virtual ear trumpet

I must learn to pay more attention........

Save your Resolutions for the New Year

[Snadger]

What with AP playing with his trumpet and TS's hairy vetch , the mind boggles!

after listening to the script,while not really watching,i agree with 2sheds,the commentary seems it would have been better with benny hill doing the voice over,dressed as fred scuttle,all that was missing was the music..

[roitelet]

I think what she is talking about is common vetch or tares. Sounds like a good idea but don't let it seed

[Aberdeenplotter]

you had me scrambling for my doric dictionary with your reference to tares. I have always understood tares to be a variety of peas which used to be grown with the oat crop -presumably because being a legume, it fixed nitrogen out of the air which the oats capitalised on. My doric dictionary confirmed that is correct in our lingo but clearly as in the parable of the wheat and the tares, it is a pest of a weed.

[roitelet]

Grows as a weed here too. Quite pretty with largish cerise pink pea like flowers which are borne singly on the stem but like peas will climb up everything!
