I may have read it wrong, but I understood that the er bigger size meant that the suit was a bit bigger, when measured during qualifying. Then ‘things’ would return to normal by the time of the actual competition, meaning the suit had a bit more slack in it. Even that little bit of extra...

could be something for @Neil Clements: The Edible Garden - Plant Fairs Roadshow

@Neil Clements we are also on clay soil. How about fennel (not the bulb type)? The bees love it and the feathery leaves are great in salads and soups. Fig? Grape vines, you can use the leaves to do your own stuffed vine leaves and then have the grapes for eating or wine making. Great that you...

I think they are so delicate. I had never heard of them.

While the weather remains "challenging, I consider ones time is best spent researching soil composition, profiling, soil organisms, ground water levels, basic geology, plant physiology especially root formations and symbosis with fungi and associated life forms. The majority of questions here...

I received seeds today for an orange variety of this plant. Has anyone tried it from seed? Thank you in advance for any advice.

The problem is getting them small enough. I once ordered the smaller size of the gold leaf ones and sent them back - they were huge on me, far to long in the fingers and too wide everywhere so there's no way I could operate secateurs wearing them.I just had a look at the welding gauntlets on...

I personally don't believe they have a long term future in containers, but agree planting in that position isn't a good idea. I think some trellis on the wall with a suitable climbing plant either side of the door way would be a better option.

One of the reasons I enjoy an electric car, it is still working well, running smoothly and saving me money, 9 years after it was first bought...

Hisounds exciting already, around the pool low growing thyme.
