I freeze a lot of milk too. Anyone who tells you it can't be done, or that it affects the milk in any way, is talking out of their seat. It tastes exactly the same, it's the same in every way. I freeze full fat milk, skimmed milk and semi skimmed. If she says she doesn't like it, just don't tell her...

The M&S policy sounds very convincing to me. Jonathan Porrit advised them on it, and it seems very sound. I compared the T***o announcement with the M&S one and wrote an article about it here . The upshot is that both policies are good, but M&S's is more all-encompassing. T***o still haven't address...

14. Chamomile tea for calming, relaxation and helping sleep 15. Cloves as a local anaesthetic - get a miniature bottle of vodka, tip out the vodka and half-fill with cloves then put the vodka back (drink the vodka you can't fit back in the bottle). Leave it somewhere dark for a couple of months, giv...

Somebody suggested to me that the s-called "vital footpath" necessitating the demolition of the allotment may all be a ruse, so the council can sell off the land to developers once the Olympics are all over. Now that's sneaky. My brain just isn't cynical enough to think up things like that. Somebody...

It is archeaological and really interesting. Its amazing that plants most people ignore today or regard as pest's were once a staple diet. I agree. I'm waiting for him to show us how you can get all your necessary nutrients from couchgrass, bind weed, docks and brambles, and then I can give up digg...

Kev, you can always go back and edit your posts if you feel you wrote something a bit too hastily! That's true, but I also respect your reaction, Kev. Instead of deleting it and sort of pretending it had never happened, you admitted some of what you said was a mistake (if heartfelt and understandab...

Scheduled Allotment Destruction by Olympics
The Manor Gardens allotment site in London is due to be demolished in a few weeks' time to make way for a footpath serving the London Olympics site. The footpath will exist for only 4 weeks. The allotments have been there for 100 years. I'm proud that Britain will be hosting the Olympics in 2012. I'...
Bees
I've signed up for a beekeeping course in May. I'm thrilled and can't wait. but I wonder what is the best time to get started with bees? I thought it was earlier in the spring, but this course doesn't finish until 27th may. Should I wait until I have the know how and then get some bees even though i...

When my daughter was about 2 she sat on an anthill in the garden and got ants in her pants literally. Poor little mite got bitten quite badly and was upset. We put a paste of bicarb and water on the bites and gave her a hug to calm her down, but we didn't take any action against the ants. We just po...

I enjoyed Ep 3 last night, about foraing along waterways - catching fish (obviously) and also eating the rootstems of greater reed mace and the seeds of yellow water lilies. They spat the water lily seeds out, even after they had fermented them for a week and ground them up and made them into a sort...
