Re blackberries: think salt in the soaking water kills the creepy crawlies, so you eat them without knowing they're there... not sure if that's a good thing! Plain water makes them crawl out of the fruit so you can pick them off. Lovely subject...
Hmmm... think it's bedtime. Night night!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Saw a programme last night about meat and ecology, cows eat too much and fart too much, chicken isn't too bad, mussels cost nothing to grow in Scotland except for the ropes and they don't make gas. Insects are very ecological and full of protein - could be the meat of the future!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've just ordered my free Alliums from the mag and also ordered Bellevalia mixed (for my pots), Fritillaria meleagris and some crocus...just normal ones
Just my orchid daffs and tulips to order now and am contemplating Hyacinths.
Looks as if everyone has been really busy today. Congrats to all those with exam results. Not an easy time and I wouldn't put the clock back for anything! I really admire our young folk, they have so much more to deal with than I ever had.
All this talk of blackberries!! I am a good few weeks from tasting ours, they are still needing sun, hope we get some. All this talk of pies and crumbles.
did anyone read the Brambley Hedge books? My daughters favourite.

I just had a senior moment and thought you were taking a plant to bed LP........I misread it
Anyway, hope bed / rest helps the sciatica. Night xx
I wish!
