garlic

lots of italian cooking soon richard :o)))

Ha ha yes Sandra. These are looking quite good even though I say so myself...lol. I split a bulb of garlic that I bought from the supermarket and planted the single cloves in this pot. You had better not come too near after we have eaten them though. Someone told me that it is the green section out of the middle of the clove that makes your breath smell (not that I breathed over them at the time...lol). Have you or anyone else heard of that one before? :-))

no not heard that before richard, while chopping it seems the whole thing smells strong, not so bad if you all eat it but when just one person its awfull lol

yes that's true Sandra. I have heard that eating parsley helps but I suppose the best remedy is not to eat it if you are going somewhere special ...lol eg up the allotment! :-)

lol richard, like me i dont go anywhere much these days lol, gardening is my excitment , well we do go for a meal every other week if im good hahaha

I planted a couple more cloves in the pot today Sandra as there were a few gaps, so they will come up later after we have picked the rest. It is nice to go out for a meal now and again isn't it - and see how the other half lives!

yes it is richard lol, i enjoy going out more in summer without dodging rain :o)

We tend to go for a meal more often in the summer Sandra, and now we can go in the lunchtime, as we have both finished working. Like you we tend not to go out too much in the winter when it is cozy at home. I miss the gardening in the winter though-its not quite the same reading seed catalogues instead ..lol :-)

i dont read catalogues richard, rather go look in nurserys or garden centres :o)

Yes Sandra that sounds like a more sensible idea :-)

i just like to see what im buying, though i do get of ebay quite alot

Yes I do too Sandra. My seeds from the BBC came today, the same as yours so I will go ahead and get them started off -they will be useful won't they. I will grow the carrots in a pot

yes i must do mine richard, after the pond disaster im a bit flat if you know what i mean, got to get going again :o)

I was reading about the water table on the net and it is higher in the winter Sandra. I cant see a problem if you empty the pond, put in a liner straight away and then refill it, :-)

thats what we are hoping to do richard, maybe tomoz if i can motivate baz lol, got a couple of bags of building sand to which will help :o)

Yes Sandra make Baz a sandwich and say 'pond needs finishings as GOY friends are coming around this evening to do an inspection...lol and will give you marks out of ten!' :-)... lol

lol richard nice one :o)

:-)
