Yes , I believe the fog or smog during the great London smog was green or yellowish sometimes due to pollution . The closest I came to it was a few years ago when Moscow and its regions suffered from underground peat fires .
Meanwhile just out of a very cold lake after an invigorating swim
B3 I believe they are called tomtato or some such horror. I suppose if you are very short on space you get toms on top & when finished empty the pot for some spuds. Never tired them I suppose as Toms & spuds are they same family (solanum) some bright spark thought it was a good idea. Apart from novelty value I can't see it catching on that much.

Been out for the day and had lunch at teh seaside on a cosy veranda protected from the breeze and with views across sparkling Atlantic to Ile de Ré. Snoozle in the sun since and a read of the Times which is the first one I've seen here. Normally it's the Mail or Telegraph which we leave on the racks.
B3 - Beechgrove tried those things one year. Waste of time as they gave poor yields of both spuds and toms. Space saving I suppose if you're gardening on a balcony and determined to have veg.
.Pat - our friends in Manley Heights had a kookaburra nest outside their guest bedroom window. I learned to dislike them a great deal as the cackling started well before dawn.
Busy - hope you had good weather for your BBQ and that all went well. You too for your hill FG.
Liri - hope the neighbours have come home OK and the cats have been fed.
Hello to those I've missed. Off to water the pots now.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Pat/Ob ....I have never heard what a kookaburra sounds like but if it is anything like a Siberian crow.....then I wish you quietness
MIL always brings in something from the garden for the table for dinner ....which is oven baked honey glazed pork chops.....with red cabbage , broccoli and carrots .....and my BH's mashed spuds .....I have no idea what this is ......?

I was leafing through an old plant catalogue when I saw the strangest thing - tomatoes and potatoes on the same plant. Why? I asked myself.
Has anyone tried it?
You would have Joyce if you lived in London in the 1940's / 1950's ??
B3 I think I have vague memories of seeing something like that. Who would even come up with that idea and why???
Lyn - I remember the thick Glasgow fogs of the 1950s when even the bottom of an underskirt would get covered in grime.
