Extra Lessons In Tempting Essentials

Avs S will be post no. 26 (unless sneakies of you all go and delete your early posts now!).
No 26 is actually a change from the number I'd settled on ten minutes ago!! (Oh well, don't need to know that, it's not interesting:(.)

So! You can watch post 26 now and see it change, for anyone "sad" enough to want to do so!:rotfl::rotfl::T

Thanks for new thread snap.
Not been on all day. Just got sat down after hectic day. Friend has a new house and doesn't want the wardrobes so me and oh went and took them out of her house and fitted them into ours. I'm shattered. Hope I've not missed much x

Isn't that what the roasting does?

Not quite sure.I've tried it with hazel nuts but it didn't quite work.

Found this -
To grow the largest sunflowers, it is essential to direct sow seed directly into the garden, rather than start them in pots of any kind. This is because sunflowers have long taproots that grow quickly and become stunted if confined. Peat pots in particular often dry out and block off root growth. Despite many gardener's best intentions, transplanting often gets postponed - so beat the odds and plan to sow seeds in the ground.
Interesting...

We have grown some before but usually they get attacked by the slugs, so need to find a suitable slug free area to put them into. I thought maybe big pots would avoid the slug problem.

I didn't ignore it, still less totally, and even less conveniently!:rotfl::D:rotfl:
(I just went about getting on with RL and came back here as and when!)

Get your prodigy to PM me and I'm sure we'll never ever come back to the forum itself!!:D I'm glad he's proving to deal with everything totally and completely comprehensively then! See - he doesn't miss things out!

Do you know how many pastas there are?:mad: I had enough frustration with the bolognese sauces et al. last M's collection! Not fancying it again - although at least the best ones (what I think) are now all on the M list (I think!). Right, onto posting of Avs S on here - and live updating folks!:cool: Then to go through entire Avs M and all and update the A prices, as they've largely just been cut and paste for quite a few weeks now. Anyone fancy the task? You can do it yourself, you know, whilst I'm away on Avs S, and PM me the result!!;):D

Well that's the thing :eek::eek: I was looking for macaroni and he was helping me......he took minutes to memorise every pasta on the shelves! and has been reciting them all night ( in the dodgy Italian accent) in the order they appear on the shelf. We had a pasta quiz earlier.....I name a pasta, he tells me what's on the left and right of it on the shelf....and the price!!!! :eek:

For this reason I will not be taking him to the ladies hygiene aisle :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

My anti-slug strategy this year is hair!

I read somewhere that slugs can't slime over the hair as they get tangled up in it. So my medium length hair and my moulting cat are hoping to be garden heroes this year :cool:

Failing that, good old salt and crushed eggshells

another thing to note. Slugs love them!!! I cover mine with cut down coke bottles when I plant them out, until they're big enough to cope
