I'm a grape too. Hope no-one tramples us into wine, Silver, or peels us.

What type of fruit are you?

I'm a grape.

These are starting to get dubious! As much as I would agree that you are adaptable and intelligent, and always good for the correct answer, I'm failing to see the grape link

I am an orange.

Guy whose house we visited in America had a concrete kitchen worktop. Was smooth to the touch, in a um concrete color but with imperfections in the colouring, it looked stylish.

your new quote, doozer - could do with "already" having a "y" added?

Sorry, I've had four glasses of wine and am still struggling with the concept of getting sound advice from an orange.

What have I done?

That's a lot of sausage making time potential

Making sausages on a bicycle is fraught with difficulties and dangers.

YOU are the orange. You're getting advice from a grape. The advice is that the "alread" in your quote would benefit from a concluding "-y" (-:

I am apparently an apple. An apple that couldn't cut and paste on their phone.

Edit:managed it!

You are always put together and looking your best. You like to put your best foot forward at all times. Your go-getter attitude makes you successful at just about anything you try.

I love Magnolia too. Perhaps it's a nice people thing. You have some winderful plants in your garden, Maggie - you only need to mow the lawn and it looks like heaven from here!

Our new neighbour loves our magnolia too - she told OH she always wanted one but now she has the best of all worlds - she can see ours but doesn't have to look after one. :rotfl:

We are so lucky that we have so many great plants in our garden. Nearly all planted by the previous owner (and there's a fantastic tale to tell about him and his family). We've added some stuff - tree peony and some more peonies. And a rose in the back, plus we dug out the laurel bushes in front garden (I loathe laurel) and replaced it with 2 Rosa The New Dawn with lots of garlic planted underneath (good Companion Planting). But there keeps coming up more stuff we didn't know about before OH hacked out the brambles at the back.

Next job is to dig out the left back bed again ready to put in some spuds. The first earlies are already planted at the lottie, idea is to plant some of the second earlies down there, and some up here. But prob most of the maincrop up here. We'll see in a couple of weeks. We have a small garlic bed up here this year, bit to the left and in front of the shed, the majority is down on the lottie. Nearly all of that weedy and brambly stuff from the photos before have been dug up and the land well used the last couple of years - beans, garlic, spuds mainly. The tomatoes last year failed, and the first year the build happened just as they ripened so I couldn't get to them - too dangerous over the piles of bricks etc.

I think with combining here and the lottie we can grow a lot of food stuff. But currently we have too much else going on to tackle it all sufficiently well to do that. Old home is getting clearer, nearly time to get the EAs back. MiL home also getting clearer and almost ready for sale (hopefully maybe to family). Once that lot is done we'll have more free time for garden, lottie, and caravan (and boat). Be glad when that happens!
