Gardening & Allotments

[Macky]

I have been told that if you leave them up it will prevent them returning in the future, not sure if this is correct though.

Does that work for dead priests too?

Does that work for the Lord Mayor's trousers too?

Fresh peas tonight.

Shame about the fresh oven chips, mind.

Finally got a small veg patch planted, got some pak choi, leeks, late grow carrot and Christmas Maris piper in, let's see how quickly I can kill them

What the hell is chitting? I just through mine in a bin bag a quater full of compost.

It means not eating your spuds in time and they start growing roots

Weed killer: I need to napalm my allotment because it looks like a damn forest. I'm lazy and am not averse to feeding my kids chemicals - what works best?

Plutonium 239, never fails, kills the lot. Mind the lid though its sharp and a buggerto get off.

Diesel works pretty well too. The fuel that is, not Vin(doesn't like getting dirt under his nails) or the after shave(not cost effective).

Has anyone grown Pak Choi before? What kind of recipe do you find it works well with?

 

[Chuck T Masala]

Pak Choi with oyster sauce and spiced crispy skin pork belly.

stir fry, or if you're feeling clever with some bean sprouts and meat/veggie option and make spring rolls

Nice. I do stir fry a lot.

In the interest of a similar vein to gardening, does anyone know where I can get any large (4' tall-ish) logs, maybe balsa wood? I need one for my parrot's aviary.
