    That’s a paddock reserved for producing hay, Hosta. I’m pretty sure they use lots of fertiliser over there.😃

    Morning all.
    Grey sky at the moment but forecast is for sunshine and 15°.
    Gardening day, I think.

    I love baked beans on toast, no egg, sometimes have it for lunch when fridge is a bit bare before shopping.

    All this talk of baked beans has made me decide to buy some, as I'm now in charge of cooking.

  • A very good standby @Hostafan1 and nutritious too ... on toast or on a jacket potato. 😋 we’ve usually got a 4pack on garage shelves... just in case 😊

    Always good to have baked beans in the cupboard @Hostafan1 ....good plan 👍🏻

    Mizzly drizzly here today, so have a day with my gardening books planned (its half term, so no college).  Going to make a start on my plant portfolio.  Sounds posh, but its just a personal list of plants to use in certain situations (with latin names, heights, spreads, soil conditions all committed to memory).  I will be starting with things I grow already, and then move on to adding a few new to me.  Fun fun fun 🤩 

    Then another zoom lecture courtesy of the NGS this evening.

    So won’t be getting outside much, but will get my gardening fix in other ways.

    Cold again here but warming up thru this pm.   I've just found OH playing with my plan of the potager to work out where new beds are going and saying he wants deep bed no dig so we don't have to wait any more to buy wood for edges.  He's forgotten just how much wood there is to come off the barns!  Brain in young Pike mode then.

    That sounds like a fun project @chicky.   I sort of started one when we arrived here - plants I brought, plants I've acquired all listed in a spreadsheet but not in my memory.
    House jobs to get on with today so I can play outside tomorrow when it'll be a bit warmer and the soil a tad drier.

    We have baked beans with grilled bacon and poached egg on toast, never on their own with toast.  The SM I use has only had the version with sausages in for the last month or so but the local one still has the normal ones.  I might have to go and buy up what they have in case supplies stop.   Marmite too.   No Golden Syrup spotted since before Xmas but I have stocks of that I bough to show the students how to make treacle tart last year but it was cancelled cos of Covid.

    Morning all. I love baked beans but I don't think they qualify as part of your 5 per day do they? We usually have them with fried egg and chips on Saturdays, a quick and easy dinner if I've been gardening all day.

    I had my jab over a fortnight ago but am wondering if I've got a delayed reaction and my immune system is kicking in. My arm now has a red weal on it which is a bit lumpy, I'm quite headachey and feel awfully tired - had to sit in the bus stop to rest and get my breath back on the way home this morning. Anybody else had the same?

    it's very mild here this morning and I was hoping to do a bit more weeding. Must have had quite some rain last night, the stream was running fuller and faster.

    Yes they do @Lizzie27.  All the pulses do as long as there's a t least 3 heaped tbs a portion.
