    They are rooting down to China, through bedrock, here too @Obelixx. Problem is I weeded and turned the soil then built the raised beds on top, before I knew It was lurking deep down. I still hoik it out throughout the growing season, but my theory is if I can dig out as much as possible during the winter it helps to keep it a bit more controllable later. Perhaps I should just do half the beds and then see if it makes any difference to what pops up...

    Same problem here, the roots just go down for ever. There is just so much of it we just try and dig it out and keep it under control until the ground gets too hard and dry and then it goes mad again.

    Can carrots kill you?

    WARNING: Carrots Can Kill You. Every carrot you eat brings you nearer to death. Nearly all sick people have eaten carrots. Obviously, the effects are cumulative. An estimated 99.9% of all people who die from cancer and heart disease have eaten carrots.


    Most people who die in the UK have been in a garden at some time in  their life. Dangerous places, gardens😱

    I've got the dentist first thing tomorrow to finally get this cracked tooth sorted out. Lots of drilling and filling I imagine :|

    4 hours sleep and I decided to get up early to walk to the dentist rather than bother de-icing the car. Lovely morning to be out but the pavements are lethal with ice. Just waiting while the anaesthetic kicks in now :#

    How'd it go @wild edges?😫

    Badly. The crack is in a tricky place so the filling failed and had to be ripped out and refilled with a temporary material. I have to go back in a few months to have it looked at again but it'll probably end up having a crown on it. :|

    Good luck with that @wild edges.  I have a tooth that has broken off around a new filling and need to get that sorted but, preferably, with another dentist.

    Today is patch/sewing group for which I make a cake to try new recipes on a room full of guinea pigs.   I do them on Sundays so they can "mature" a bit and are cool for transport at midday Monday.   Late email from one lady at 10:30pm. 

    "Don't make a cake.  I've got 3 galettes des roi".   It's never ending...............  Clearly the french are not into thin/dry or veganuary which is fine but I need to transform inactive knee induced blubber back into muscle and all these treats are not helping.

    I heard an American person on the radio suggest that Prince Harry could make money by becoming part of the 'booming influencer ecosystem'. Network of nacissistic liars is probably a better description :/
