Hello from Bucks

[Bohobumble]

Hi, Bohobumble and welcome to the vine.

if you search enough, you could probably find a use for most of your weeds. Except dock. I've never found a use for dock apart from to soothe nettle stings.

I'd be interested to hear the benefit of your reading, have you noted down any tips?!

Hello and welcome from a far neighbour, although I did once live on the Beds/Bucks border

Well, for instance, you can eat a lot - dandelion, purslane, clover, plantain, chickweed, mallow, goosefoot, cleavers, burdock...even Japanese knotweed.
Horsetail tea is good for chilblains because of the silica it contains.

Hello & Welcome

[Florence Fennel]

Hello Boho and a very warm welcome to the Vine

[TheChemist]

Hello there, I'm slowly making my way through the website and have discovered the intro bit!

I'm an allotment holder (9 months now) with a particular interest in growing useful plants especially veggies, maybe some fruit, definitely herbs and some flowers that smell nice/medicinal use/tisane/attract pollinators or improve crops as a companion plant.

I'm rather a fan of cooking so cooking stuff I've grown is even more exciting. I have a blog but I'm sporadic at keeping it updated depending upon demand of my time and inclination! greengardengate.wordpress.com

I've an affinity with organic growing on my plot so like to try out heritage varieties and I'm a total convert to crop rotation and companion planting. I'm not as aggressive with the weeds as I should be... so need to work on that. Although a lot of planning goes into my efforts, the lack of neatness may mislead.

A special hello to any grapes who live nearby!

Hello from Bucks also

Please update your blog soon...it makes great reading!

Thanks! I've drafted several times a new post but not got there yet!

Been focussed on family stuff and job hunting and the plot itself (so much to do!), I keep forgetting to take pics and the blog doesn't really work without pics.

I have lots of recipes I have taken pics of tho but not had time to write it out :/
