Cheers @Skandi I can see what you mean about the squash. I often make a spiced butternut squash soup and I reckon that I could add some chicken and a few more spices and it would pass as a Thai or Malaysian chicken curry. It would be a lot healthier than the full-fat coconut milk I currently use.
I'll have to experiment

That looks amazing @Skandi! Being blessed with a really fabulous greengrocer in our little town, as well as an excellent wholefood shop and deli, we tend to buy what we don't grow, fresh. B'nut squash doesn't hang around - it all gets used up one way or another. Really impressed with how advanced the way you can use electricity is. Is electricity privatised in Denmark - or controlled by the state?
I bought myself a ball of twine for Christmas! Nothing else gardening related this year.
I was given a wrought iron stand with 3 shelves to sit on our south facing terrace and grow strawberries on it - at least that's the plan, if I can outwit the squirrels that is.
I've also today bought myself a Xmas presie of a new pruning saw plus secateurs.
A ball of twine. You can never have too much twine.
Didn't get one. 😑 But all string used for wrapping presents (I like this fashion for string instead of sparkly plastic) has been carefully collected and it is now resting in the string box.
I always try to recycle my twine by collecting any taken off canes etc and using them again, even if it means tying more than two lengths together to achieve the new required length. I keep them tidy by tying bunches of cut lengths around the centre with a piece of twine too short to do much else with.
I put all the little bits of twine in an old peanut bird feeder and hang it out in early spring as nesting material. I love watching the sparrows wrestling to get it out and in theory it should stop them stealing the twine currently in use. ( It doesn't but I live in hope).
