Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A cool and considered choice, jda. The progress of Gimme's running this spring really deserves celebrating starstarstar all round!

There have been some right little pearlers this weekend. I dunno, everyone has STEPPED UP* to the challenge.

And it really is spring now - let's make the most of this last glorious week with its additional freedoms starting tomorrow. Get outside!

*least favourite description of changing race distances but used appropriately here I wager.

You aren't getting all emotional about your ''child'' are you Sharkie? ;)

Good choice Jda.

I am newting again as I am eating the first purple sprouting broccoli of the season. I better eat some every day, as, when I planted it last year, I was still supplying to the village shop but sadly, they banned me because they don't agree with my planning application... So, I have loads and loads! Suppose it can be frozen. Hmmm... and given to friends :)

Be prepared as it takes about 12-14 months for it to produce! First time I grew it I was very disappointed, as I didn't know this. I decided to keep the plants going over winter, for their leaves, which I ate, then lo and behold the purple sprouts appeared as well! Such a good value plant... I leave it for the butterflies/caterpillars in summer too, it tends to fully recover come winter for greens and then around this time: sproutings :)

I roasted a chicken yesterday. It was admittedly a pre-prepared, satinatray sealedinabag chicken, but still.

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
