I have been and planted 17 tomatoes in the PT plus 4 peppers and staked them all too. That left 10 toms with no space so they've been potted up to go outside when OH bulds a new bed.
My new Japanes maple is now in a proper pot on the terrace so I hope will be happy.
Now to get cleaned up and scrub my nails too for a meeting this pm with the council person who looks after activity clubs. It seems we are entitled to a subsidy of 200€ which the outgong lot haven't claimed for this academic year. Not bad given we get the use of the room for free.
Happy birthday Islander and have a good protest LG.

Finally picked this up today. Made from the stones of Moira's 2 grandmothers. Could not get a good photo, too much light coming back off the stones. Luckily she love it.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Hi everyone not been on much lately, just a bit busy -nothing specific just, house, garden, Allotments etc. Have tried to read back a bit but my my you have been chatty. Bite late to the discussion but yes battery powered water timers are real boon, been using one for years with drip irrigation on most of our patio pots, great time saver even if you are home. Hope everyone is well. P.S. WHEN WILL WE GET PROPER RAIN?
BL - I find Crème Fraîche d'Isigny Ste Mère a very good substitute for cloted cream. Comes in 50cl pots and just needs sponing. No whipping. Dark blue pot with a cream picture showing a couple of cows.
Thank you for the suggestion Obelixx. I bought a small pot to try, they had 2 sizes. True, it's thick, but the taste is horrible, just like off milk. It's crème fraîche so it's been soured. All ordinary French cream is sterilised, which is better than soured, but it's not a patch on English fresh cream. It doesn't have such a high fat content as English double cream either so it takes ages to whip. Clotted cream has been boiled but with jam you hardly notice. At least it's not sour. The nearest thing to thick English cream here is Mascarpone, at least it hasn't got ferments lactiques in it.
Sorry to bore everyone.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
