MORNING FORKERS

Posted: 01/05/2013 at 07:56

Gosh, haven't had a spam fritter for years - I'm beginning to fancy one now - what about a fry up everyone?  Except I'm just setting off for work  but I've got tomorrow off and am meeting up with foodie friends for lunch 

Have a good day everyone 

ground frost warning

I'm finding it's working ok to stop the bean flowers from freezing - it's held above the flowers by the green shoots at the top of the plants so not a problem, but yes - if I was worried about protecting the new growth at the top of a plant I'd raise it a few inches above - it's not the fleece that protects from frost - it's the air pocket it creates.

Blocking a wall

Which way does it face?  And you say the wall joins straight onto a patio?  Is there much of an area to plant in?  Can you post a picture to help us please

I find it cuts down on the weeding remarkably - never any vine weevils, and the weather's usually warm

It's fine dipped in batter and fried FG - some fried bread too and grilled tomatoes, and a fried egg and mushrooms - a decent breakfast and it's here ready and waiting for us when we arrive in the morning - very kind of them, I say 

What does Monty think?

You could ask a farmer at harvest time - or if you know any farmers who keep cattle, they're likely to have some stored you could buy a bit.  Unfortunately most farmers now bale it into Big Bales, rather than the sort you can put in the back of your car.  Some still make the smaller bales and sell it via the sort of place that sells stuff for pets - most places that sell goat and chicken feed will sell you some barley straw.

Morning Andy - sorry to hear you've got to have more chemo - it's no fun is it.  My 20 year old neice has just had what is hopefully her last session - fingers crossed.

While you're repotting your tomatoes, you couldn't do mine as well could you? - only about 25, wouldn't take you long - only I've got to go to work and I'll be nackered when I get back
