fab thank you for all of that - I will try whizzing a tin up with yoghurt and freezing it, taking it out every now and then to stir up - mango pie sounds delicious! As does jam, it would be great under a layer of marzipan

fab and brill, thank you so much! will have to drink a demijohn of elderflower first to make room though :-) ah dear, life is tough!

Mangoes - mango ice cream, definitely.

Ahh, the adoration of the crowds, I love it!

I am so proud of this! I don't think it would be safe with plastic or foam cups though, it is cable tied onto the horrible light above and they are all stapled together.

Fab Ratty - thank you!

I have just had a look at http://www.tetrapakrecycling.co.uk/locator.asp and I can recycled my tetra paks pretty close. Does anyone know if it is just the waxy ones or the ones with the tin foil inside that can be recycled? I can't find out on the site, and do they have to have the tetra pak brand n...

Ooh - let me consult my spreadsheet...! Okay - according to my s/s you can sow Beetroot, Broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower, Florence Fennel, Leaf Salad, Lettuce, Pumpkin, Radish, Rocket, Spring Onion and Turnip in June. Of course this is just the stuff I've grown and I'm only basing this on what it say...

Hiya

Last week I started to share an allotment with 2 other people, we can only get there at the weekend at the moment so I need ideas for things to plant that are low maintenence.
