Skippy - I admire your patience.

My house tends to be full of plants - mostly seedlings - in spring and early summer.

Welcome!

Well, that makes me feel old. Oh wait, I am.

I know the feeling...

Welcome back, PL.

Onions, onions, onions... Well, they are not growing any more, but they haven't been harvested yet. Courgette and patty pan are still going - I have a few runner beans that are not looking too happy with the weather... Shame. Radishes. Brambles. In a fit of optimism I've sown a few seeds under cover...

Hi Ascerti - welcome to Ish. Dreaming is a good place to start - and it doesn't end; I'm rather older than you and still dreaming.

What the cows, sheep and goats????

I remember when I was in France, we gave huge ex-courgettes to our house cow - she loved them. Was really uplifting to see her take big chunks out of them.

Gosh these people who are good with a needle! Ina I'm of the class who can sew on a button and mend a worn out pocket but not a lot more than that. Never really learned any sewing skills and the husband that was used to be good with the sewing stuff so never any need. I'm not saying it looked terri...

Cows, sheep and goats love them, too - and you don't need to cook them!
