What's happening this weekend?

[lettucegrow!]

This weekend I'll be mostly.... decorating!. After a re-wire hash job we are re-doing nearly the whole house.Two rooms almost done,loads still to do. OH says wants it done for christmas,Will be lovely but will be too tired to enjoy it,oh well.

[sewer rat]

I'll be lifting tatties all weekend if it's dry. If it's not I'll be clearing those areas in the tunnel that need clearing and same with the shed. In the evenings (not just this weekend but before next Saturday, I shall be making all of the following - quince jelly, quince cheese, beetroot chutney, Apple jelly (some with mint, some with sage, some with rosemary some with chilli), parsley jelly, pickled onions, pickled red cabbage and rowan jelly. I was also gonna make Autumn Chutney (apples and pears) but having seen the thread on here, I think I'll try Pear Honey instead.

Wish the uniforms were self iron kirsty, don't you. Which bit do you work in?

[zazen999]

This morning's dichotomy was soon resolved as the OH came down and made me a cuppa; so I continued playing Mafia Wars and all was well with the world.

[bobleponge]

Bother, it appears to be dry, thus I shall have to leave wandering down to the village for at least a bit later.

Oh, and for Comfreyfan........AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN

hi, will b planting japanese onion set. garlic and some winter cabbage, i know its prob a bit sad , but we have a small baby and getting out into d garden is a big deal at the moment. i actually dont mind, i wudnt swap d little man for anything n the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Japanese onions (about 400) have been in for around 3 weeks now & all have sprouted
I was hoping to start my broad bean off to-day but the man on the market didn't have any on Thursday(may have some to-day)

[Nicos]

Are there any other kind? Presume that's from your Cheshire connection?
One of them doesn't have the initials EBJ by any chance does he?

Yup....and .......nope! ( don't tell me there are more of them over here????)

[Nicos]

Well thats the plan at least. I'll probably wander down to the village and spend all Saturday in the bar, fall off my stool and get sent home in disgrace by Ginette.

Ha!..just another weekend in the life of M. Leponge????

Saturday - create 'to-do list'. Make sure I include at least 4 things I have done already so I can cross them off and feel smug. Cross off another couple of things that no longer seem important. Dash around like a mad thing and do a couple more things on the list. Cross them off. Sit down and go onto the vine for hours until I get pins and needles in my sit-upon. Turn computer off and telly on - pour a glass or two. Forget the list and find it a few weeks later under the sunday paper stack.

Is that, like, a football thing?

Anyhow - felt crap all day so have done very little. Did get rid of some brassicas that were a 'decoy' for the cabbage whites today; and the whitefly - phew - clouds of the buggers. Luckily I had my trusty helper [the OH] on call for the hard work of getting them out and chopping them down to compost.

And planted out a bed of 'Rose de Roscoff' onions for seed saving next year. And put some more 'Rossa Di Milano' onions inbetween the others in another bed for seed saving next year. I'll move the least grown ones next spring back home for the actual flowering but they need a good lot of space for the winter to grow on.

Going back to bed soon for the third time today. Bleugh.

[HotStuff]

Yup....and .......nope! ( don't tell me there are more of them over here????)

Don't know if there are more of them over there, it's just that I used to move in that circle (Liverpool bar) and that was one I could remember.

[Comfreyfan]

Is that, like, a football thing?
