Morning all. Didn't come here this morning because I had lots of email notifications, but they missed out Hello Forkers.
If no one wants Dove's cake I'll have it, looks yummy, just my sort of thing.
Have been in veggie garden this morning. Took up the weed supressing fabric and dug up the rest of the leeks for the freezer. OH has rotovated all the bits where I want to put onions, potatoes, broad beans, peas.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

You're on the ball Dove
. If I had looked it up I would think I had been mistaken all these years because the RHS knows best

I'll pass on the Guiness KEF thanks all the same
. Top of the morning to you
.
LilyP - glad you've still got the family with you
. I don't think Pdoc is due to go there till June - maybe he's in training

Have a good day everyone. HW for me but will feel better when it's done.
Morning all. Kew on a plate last night was FAB.
Kate Humble wins two bonus Pedants' Corner points for saying " the peas are growing up their teepees" Hurrah, she didn't wrongly call them wigwams.
And she pronounce chorizo correctly ( cho ree tho, NOT as is commonly said cho reet so)
I thought the balance of gardening, cookery and a bit of Kew based science was perfect.
What did you guys who watched it think?
BTW wasn't the soil in those beds to die for?
and who wouldn't love to have Joe help us in the garden? Or is that just me?
Joe Swift?
I didn't watch it as OH checked it out and told me it was a cookery programme
did I miss gardening!!!!!????!!!!

No, Joe Archer http://www.kew.org/visit-kew-gardens/explore/attractions/kew-on-plate-kitchen-garden
I think he's going to be quite an attraction
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Bother, wish I'd watched it. Turned off TV to get ready for bed, it's an hour later here in France.
Watch it next week BL
