Re: My longest prep
I was a first aider in my previous job for many years and I did courses before that.I can honestly say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Even if you’re injured you can tell someone else what to do. A small package of folded mixed bandages/gauzes will cover most things and can be carried an...

Re: MRE 'Backup'
I’ve started growing carrot and parsnip tops for their leaves as salad. The parsnip leaves must be cooked but you can eat carrot leaves raw. Quite slow growing but you can grow them all year round on a windowsill so even if you have no garden it’s an easy way of generating fresh green food. I’ve sta...

Oooh! Heal up soon! My daughter has a wisdom tooth that’s growing horizontally in the gum and we suspect is giving her migraines. One more medical thing to take care of!

Her fell, how do you roast your sunflower heads? I’ve seen videos on YouTube but always viewed them with a big pinch of salt as I’ve not heard of it from a reliable source.

Re: Allotment: Woo Hoooo!!! :) :) :)
Growing food can be a really big battle. Must admit I’ve just got a couple of tomato plants and some cut and come again lettuces in pots on a garden table. Things get too hot/ too cold/ wet/ eaten by slugs and aphids so I’ve moved some things around several times. I’ve got a bumper crop of two tomat...

Re: Grape vines
