The Opal plum tree is is full fruit so I am making lots of plum jam since we all like it. Not much point putting up pie filling as we rarely use it. The cherry plums up the park last year are a wipe out - I think they overdid it last year. The garden toms & courgettes are just coming online whil...

Ara It sound like you could move the water preps more open easily if you are on a hosepipe ban.

The electric one has a separate motor which may need a safety check or replacement wiring to be safe. Fun fact. In...

I have 4 adults in a first floor maisonette so I feel your pain.Food goes behind the kitchen plinths, in the ottoman bed and in the bottom of our built in wardrobe. The wardrobe is prone to damp so any thing stored there has to go in a really useful box first to avoid condensation. Water stores down...

Me too. I have always been a bit of a tomboy. I think we are about 50/50 among the active posters here so definitely not just a male activity on this forum.
