We didn’t put the heating on but the electric blankets in already. went to work the morning and got soaked through to the knickers, it hasn’t stopped in fact getting worse. It’s well and truly watered the garden. I said back along this would happen as soon as the people came down here for their holidays, such a shame. Daughter and family are touring the California coast road, bet it’s hot there, fires blazing.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Something you probably won't wish to consider for catching slugs. Whilst touring the 'estate', I noticed two heaps of fox poo on the lawn. Each pile was covered in slugs of all shapes and sizes. Each pile had slugs 'legging' it towards the heaps. I set to with my trusty scissors. The corpses are likely to attract slugs which do not find ++++ to their taste. I will investigate tomorrow. It saves fossicking around under plants.
Your parents are your parents until either you're dead or they are. My mum was visiting for a couple of weeks and has now gone home. I ate some Nute!!a from the jar, had a nap, ate more Nute!!a and now I feel sick. Parents need to take their responsibilities a bit more seriously and stay longer when they visit. She didn't even make Sunday dinner before she left first thing this morning! Rude!
Is that the Nutella full of palm oil or the organic one without it PP? This mum has had to be on best diplomatic behaviour in the kitchen today because Possum decided she needed to make a chocolate tart with a chocolate crust form a recipe she found on the internet.
Meanwhile I've got 8 litres of freshly picked, chopped up beefsteak type tomatoes reducing down to make passata. Home grown red onions, garlic and herbs in the mix so it should be good. i also have 2 trays of small round toms halved and de-seeded and drying slowly in the oven and have dug up some Charlottes to roast with garlic and rosemary and olive oil and have with some serious Barnsley chops form a local producer. Yum.
Anyone been watching the story of that new space probe heading for the sun? I'll be well impressed if that white shield holds up and stops it all melting.

@Obelixx I have no idea. I'm a total newbie where that particular product is concerned and I am still trying to find my parameters. I imagine if it was organic it would say so on it and it doesn't.... Either way I have put the spoon away. @B3. Yes!
My own mother is a complete disaster at relationships with family, friends, people in shops, offices, services........ I'm very conscious of that when dealing with Possum who can be "reactive" under pressure.

Well done you for keeping quiet! Last time I baked with my mum in attendance she said "don't put all those eggs in at once". I've been baking for fifty years. I know when to put the effing eggs in! She's not a bad sort but seems to think that it's appropriate to speak to me (nobody else mind you) like a moron. I've 'politely' explained to her that it's not!
