I'm growing cress on the windowsill on upturned ice cream lids and clear plastic punnet thingies. I keep all sorts of stuff like that for using in the freezer. I keep every single marg pot we ever use and use it when I'm painting small amounts so that I can throw away the marge pot without having to...

I know it has some gorgeous beaches but in my department it's just mud flats and oyster beds! Never mind I'm in the countryside which is what I prefer. It certainly is hard wor...

Hi again - first of all, call me MMM, everyone else does on other forums! I've got fruit trees everywhere, not just in the orchard! Peaches and apricots which were a surprise. No fruit on the apricots sadly but I can see little peaches forming. Cherries, plums, apples, possibly pears but I'm not sur...
