I agree with Odsox - brilliant kettles - heat up v quickly - v efficient. We've had one for years

What a brilliant repair, happy new corner sofa - very trendy at the mo
Well done!

Comfrey arrived yesterday, now tucked up in the garden
ta v much indeedy

Being in not too dissimilar conditions I can feed back re my experiments of growing in boggy ground - my soft fruit seems to be fine - rasps, blackcurrants, redcurrants, blueberries, strawbs - all good, rhubarb - yep, cranberries - not doing much but i think were slightly strangled by overgrown gras...

It's a no not really - it survives but you don't get thick enough roots to harvest - at least I certainly didn't - I got a totally tangled mess of thin roots - which is why I've 'released' it mwwhhhaaaahaaaaa

My snowdrops are flowering - yippee
Found them yesterday - I'm soooooo delighted, spring is on it's way

It is possible - lots of groups have done it in Scotland see map on this linky http://www.communitywoods.org/map/ - can't find the link t...
