Maddy Prior. I love her.

Gert is laughing about this because he already knew my reaction - "Gert!!!! Get that stinking compost OUT of my kitchen Oh God the flies" The kitchen is an ongoing problem in an otherwise beautiful relationship .

Gert and I went for an evening stroll arond our village yesterday evening and as we approached the post box we saw that it had been taped and had a notice on it. Grumbled about how there were no services at all left in rural areas, rotten old post office etc etc until we got there and read that &quo...

That's a very kind offer. Thank you.

Might it be fun to all bring a homemade/grown/produced gift to the meet so that everybody goes home with something - like a secret santa-ish?

Mrs G

Gert and I have a really odd shaped garden that makes siting a greenhouse virtually impossible. It's also in a wind tunnel so the plastic B&Q ones just end up 2 miles down the road. Our windowsills are cold and quite dark so my problem every year is getting things like sweetcorn and cucumbers to...

Yes - right angled parsnips seem to be a speciality of mine along with completely flat onions

Hello everybody.

I am Mrs Gert married to Gert. I expect he talks nothing but chickens and sheep. I probably talk nothing but vegetables, jam and spinning. We need to get out more
