Re: Another Allotment.

Ooh fantastic Brambles!

Got to say I love our Lottie, got 42 cloves of garlic in last weekend, I bought tons of seed packets in the sales so excited to get growing again!

Hurrah for growing your own!

Re: What preps are you doing this week? Part 3.

Got a pack of ten glow sticks in Sainsbury's for £2, only small and multicolors but I tried one out last night and it lasted till the morning! I'm going to get more and put them away in my drawer with my candles stash!

Is that a good deal?

Re: HOME CANNING

Tried out my fruit press on the Kenwood today to juice the bucket of blackberries we picked. I'm so impressed, the seeds came out dry as a bone and the juice is delicious, it took longer to clean than to press the juice, did it by hand before and it's very laborious involving a fine mesh sieve and a...
