Tinned potatoes are great for putting in soup.

So annoying that your local Mr T doesn't stock them GreyQueen! I'm planning to grow some this year. In fact, I'm keen to try growing black ones (for the novelty). My parents neighbours grew some last year and they look really interesting!! Apparently still red on the inside, which I find a bit trippy! lol

They taste so much better, some of them are really smoky, be careful with black cherry, they tend to split. Highly recommend French Black and Brads Black Heart.

I'm ready.

Yesterday was the ceremony where we finally got all the official documents given to us to confirm we now have dual nationality. Now we, me, OH and 2 DDs are now all the same nationality and we can at last all vote.

Vote as in a general election, local election or vote in any possible future referendum?

Asda have Branston beans 4 X £1.50 and Home Bargains they're £1.49 if anyone prefers them to Heinz.

Thanks. I'll happily eat either and switch between the two, depending on price. Don't like own brand ones, always so....'earthy'. And I'm heading to Asda tomorrow for a couple of other bits, so will top up the beans stock then.

The Thompson & Morgan bare root fruit & Seed packet veg have arrived. Do I plunge the bareroot stuff into the unnaturally warm soil & watch them keel over in shock as the weekend chills, or do I leave them in a cold shed & plant them over the cold weekend, hoping it'll warm up eventually?

And do I inter them with a handful of chicken manure pellets or just wait a few weeks so the weeds do not get all the benefit?
The handle refers to my cave exploration digging where we removed rocks for fun & to facilitate access by others wishing to explore caverns measureless. I can dig! This whole nurturing plants bit I vary at considerably.

Has anyone tried tinned mushrooms? Lidl has them and I'm thinking about getting a couple of cans.

Vote in anything other than municipal (I live in a village of 650 people). I live am British but live and work out of the UK, at the time of the referendum I had been out of the UK for more than 15 years so lost my right to vote but of course you never gain a right to vote just because you've lived somewhere even for a very long time. Many of my European friends have lived and worked in UK for more than 15 years but couldn't vote. So I felt no one was interested in me as I couldn't vote.

Now at least I can have my say here, and don't have to wait for answers to all the 'what if' questions.
