They are called '!!!!ebloem' (pee flower) in Flemish also.
But I never knew about the diuretic thingy.
Another useful piece of info picked up in the NPT!

If you just mow the fields every couple of weeks, does that not simply exhaust all the larger weeds?

Any ideahow long it takes to mow four and a half acres with a push mower?

Agricultural contractors rates for cutting with a tractor and topper would be 100 an acre. Gets pricey if you ate doing it fortnightnighly for weed control, and loss of you valuable grass crop....for sale or swaps!

I have realised today i have never to the best opf my memory had a takeaway by myself. I would happily eat in a restaurant my my self, but takeaway? Has just never occured to me to do so. But i really fancy tandoori prawns. Io know they are expensive, and i know its incredibly indulgent to even consider them, let alone a takeway at all.......i have not decided i will, but i thought i would post it as i know at least pastures has bought takeaway for just her.

I've had takeaway by myself lots of times. If the kids had worn me out I used to stop off at the chippy on the way home from delivering them to LNE for the weekend.

I'm getting to the stage that I need to do something as my lawn is turning more into a dandelion allotment.

My lawn is still mostly grass, but desperately in need of mowing. We have a fine dandelion coming up between the paving slabs in a small paved area that we have behind the house.

Well, that what they woul
D charge cutting for hay. Same amount of land, same equipment, so thats what i am guessing. Last year we used pur neighbours tractor twice and then another neighbour did it for free because he wanted to use his new tractor. He is a partner at a law firm....not dh's but a well known one. Dh lunched out several times with colleagues on a partner at that firm being his 'lawn boy';):D

Is any one able to help me?

I have been in dialogue with dulux over a paint issue, and they have suggested i look at three colours of paint on their trade website, but i can not work out how to find them. I have used the search thingy, but it doesn't work, and trying to flick through the colours on their on screen paint charts was hard too...they follow an order of the letters in the chart but not i think the numbers...

If anyone fancies helping me out the websit is dulux.trade-decoration.co.uk and the paints i am looking for are
