Fork Handles

I get plantar fasciitis too, but not all the time. Thought is was genetic, brother and daughter have it. Pain in the neck (feet!) when sightseeing, feet start to burn. Have had troubles with burning where stirrup goes when riding. Has anyone tried Hotter shoes? Lovely soft soles. They don't all fit though, but my Hotter walking shoes are really great.

Tina, from your picture I would never have guessed you would rather live in a built up area - seems to be a tent in the middle of nowhere!

Well done Rosa Bjay, and Tina, for losing so much weight. I never used to have a problem, thought I was a slim person (if big boned for my height, size 7 shoes for 5'3"!) but since the menopause I've put on 2 stone, can't seem to shift it. Not that I try very hard!

Seeds are up

Joyce's method is the best as the plants start bigger and stay true to type. In the past I've sown seeds that have all come up like different varieties, some not very good.

Hello, I'm up. Just been feeding horses, dog and cat. Sunny, but -4°.

Best tasting early peas

I grow Kelvedon Wonder as the seeds are easy to find here in France, but they are called "Merveille de Kelvedon" and Greenshaft when I remember to buy the seeds on trips to England. I will be growing a French variety of Mangetout peas this year as well.

How cold is it where you are? I would feed them when it warms up a bit.

I've really enjoyed everyones moans I'll have to write something as I want to be updated, but I don't have any neighbours, I live in the middle of a forest! I'll just have to moan about bindweed and brambles that pop up all over the place and I can't get rid of it.

I planted a supermarket packetful in the veg garden about 8 years ago and I get flowers every year, even though it's regularly -7°-10° in the winter.

That chap in the yellow outfit looked like he had a ferret down there!

Geoff didn't go to hospital for babies because he's only 5.
