Meh - if it was free carrot cake then I might be persuaded to abandon my principles.

 

Not really keen on carrots, allthough I will eat them at a push. not really worth it for me 

I'm with you Veggie!

It's the illusion that one can feed one's family their five portions of fruit n veg from a window box whilst avoiding the warped philosophy of littlejohn that o have difficulty mit.

Nothing like home grown carrots....

Home Grown Beetroot....nothing sweeter or tastier, picked young......yum.....****Thinks about buying seeds**** 

it'd have to be these type before I'd consider it... 

 

 

and even then I'm doubtful

We have a fab farm shop a short cycle ride away. One cycles between the organic crops on the way to the buildings, thus our garden is left for lawn, shrubs, flowed

Flowers n seats!

I have gardens and a pond for my enjoyment and use my dads land for my food....

Did you run out of breath there Joe ? 

No! I type with my index finger while the other ones hover over the "DONE" button and occasionally hit it at inappropriate times.

If I had the space for it I'd be growing my own. 

 

I don't think anyone on telly has ever said you can have your 5 a day from a window box 

Lost a window box to the ground below, when my Kumquats grew to juicy......

*looks on keyboard for "DONE" button.

I'm on me iPhone!

******Hides head in shame......I did too*******

******Hides head in shame......I did too*******

There's nothing like it and cos we have so much space we plant alot and share it out for family and friends....

What do you grow Stonks? I've been watching this programme on the food channel....edible garden or something. I thought it would be good but she's like a hippy and lives on leaves 

They wouldn't do your teeth much good Saz if you were munching on them!! Better to join Aquarius and me in the cake queue

Free carrot seeds? Well that will be handy then if you fancy carrots with your dinner tomorrow night. Not! Free tin of carrots I might have considered it...

Youf of today......so impatient......***Rolls eyes..tut***

The DM can't dispense tins though Prom. They'd be too afraid that protesters would use them to lob at our hero cops or that all that free metal would entice a traveller community to park up outside the paper shop.

Not to mention the cancer risk..............

Maybe it's an incentive to get us off our lazy butts and instead of sitting in front of a telly or computer.....get out there and get active 

 Yeah....it's a good promotion   

 

 Who wants a free bet on the National?

 

 Your horse falls at the second or free carrots in six months?

 

 No brainer really.

I am not impressed with the results when I have grown carrots..   it seems I have a choice between bland carrot fly resistant ones, or tasty ones that the carrot fly larvae get to enjoy...  not us.

 

and as for all this bollocks about carrot flies not flying higher than 12 inches above the ground.. (so putting up a barrier of more than 12 inches around your planted carrots should protect them)..  ours must be pole vaulters or something... 

.... and I can't stand Monty 

 

I thought we'd got shot of him last year...   there was a nice bloke instead, and they gave out proper gardening advice, not arty farty green colour only gardens & visits to historical gardeners gardens to see the 580 different species of box hedging.

Lol...........how do you feel about Topiary?.......LOL...xxx

actually I quite fancied trying my hand at a bit of topiary..  

 

I wanted to do a lion like this lying in the middle of my parents lawn...

 

 

So..  I got me a starter box hedge plant thingy..     and went for the basic cube to begin with... 

 

I ended up wittling it down to something that could really only be described as a die (as in singular dice)..  

 

and that was the end of that fad 

Lol Garage Joe.... I'm on my iPhone too and I know exactly what you mean about the Done button

Next week, a stick. 

Well I've got my seeds and am well chuffed cos I can;t do the going out shopping thing to get my own. .and I have my TV guide for the week and as usual the paper has gone straight into the recycle bin..

 

but why I feel I have to say I don't read the paper any more I dunno cept on here I feel that if I even admitted I did I'd feel an outcast due to the continual generalisations made about people who get the DM. .am getting a bit sick of it tbh. .

 

wonders which paper is ok to read   and will be approved of by the judgementals.. and also doesn't rub news ink onto your fingers too,, not that I read papers any more cos I can't be assed and only get a Saturday delivery for my TV guide and of course my Carrot seeds today as well 

I can't wait for the shstring....

Let's hope there's marbles ...

You both need some 

Nahh there crap....

My upstairs neighbour gets the Mail at weekends.I nick it from her re-cycling bin to line the rabbits cages.

Thanks velvet. Planted mine this morning...lookee at them this afternoon...woop!
