    I always make sure I have cash ( notes and coins ) to hand - it's the best way for the local egg and veg. places which only use "honesty boxes". How does one define "legal" beggars as opposed to "illegal" ones ? Donating to registered local charities is the safest way I find- usually at least.

    Vegetable Growing 2026

    Good to see somebody else does these too. Have been surprised to find these are quite frost hardy; the earliest sowing were planted outside and have mainly survived the winter.
