I'm learning about growing from seed :oops: in other words I'm learning by making every single mistake possible :( mostly planting too late, and not enough light. I need to research growlights for indoors for next season. And for next season I'll manage to buy from realseeds so I can save my own se...

Rural / semi rural location. Scotland, Wales, Shropshire, Anglesey are among those places to be suggested. Funny you mention Scotland, the fiancé and I have it as our long-term goal to end up there in a sort of crofting scenario. Maybe we'll end up as neighbours anyway! :lol: In seriousness though,...

Isn't this a fabulous learning curve though? Especially for younger people who have become used to the easy credit/ongoing ways of doing. Well, I think I'm definitely guilty of being in that category, although I have my Luddite moments :lol: Only started using contactless recently because of places...

Ello There seem to be a few of us from South Wales and the valleys making their way here. Hope you're staying safe and well at the moment!

The only other thing I can think of that's not been mentioned is citronella oil - if you blend it with a carrier oil like almond ...

Trying to sort out a few bits and bobs before I head off to the Highlands for a much-needed break: - Harvested potatoes, carrots, and sorted out seeds for overwintering crops. - Taken delivery of a gas-powered stove and butane canisters in case of power failures. - Snagged a couple of massive liquid...

Did you know you can recycle some of your kitchen waste? Like your carrots, onions and potatoes? :shock: So you cut a little further down on your carrot tops and onion roots, place in water and in a sunny place for a approx 3 days (change the water daily) then replant? For potatoes that have seeded...

I remember all too well the 2007 floods and people getting evacuated to Hull City Hall (and less dramatically, teenaged me having to plod home from school in ankle-deep water). I still twitch a bit when the rain's falling just a bit too heavily for comfort! Thankfully my current flat isn't at risk ...
