I dug some beetroot on Sunday and they cooked fine, tasted good, so have a go! pbf.

My oranges have turned out okay, time will tell! pbf.

Couldn't sleep, so got up and just read this. wanted to laugh out loud, but it'sa bit early! Thanks! pbf.

Thanks for that Green_Pea! I have a Rayburn so have put some in the bottom oven. Hope mine looks as good as yours! pbf.

I think it is really lovely! Well done! How did you dry the oranges? I tried last year, but they went mouldy! Like you, I am renowned for starting projects, in fact I have a whole room full of them. pbf.

I grew Sarpo Mira this year and whilst everyone else on our allotments got blight, mine flourished, and I had a wonderful crop. We have very sandy soil. The only thing I find they don't do is mash. They make really good chips. I shall try one of the other Sarpo varieties next year. pbf.

I have just cleared out all the fruit from the freezer and am about to hopefully turn it into wine! pbf.

My daughter and I also watched this series, and whilst we laughed at most of it, I found the actual preppers quite scary! Particularly the hippy group, were they going to sing their way to a new civilisation? Don't wish to be rude to Americans, but the gun culture really worries me. I try to be sens...

I haven't got a photo because I don't know how to do it!! pbf.

I agree with the above and do both because sometimes you want dried breadcrumbs and sometimes you want fresh ones. pbf.

I love all these ideas, and would love to receive hand made gifts, but none of my family would appreciate them. One year I gave everyone Oxfam chickens, which went down like a lead balloon! pbf.

Cheers for that! pbf.

WILDBREW, have you made banana wine before? It looks really easy. pbf.

You sound very enterprising! Good luck. pbf.

Glad to hear all is well with you. I have missed your creativity on this site. pbf.
