I've picked up another random selection of FREE food from the Prawn Lady so I thought I'd ask you for suggestions on how you would use it! Quite challenging today.  Rolleyes

Avocado x 9
Celery heads x 2
Lemons x 9
Herbs - Mint, Dill, Parsley
Rainbow carrots
Small pots of Sage butter (for pasta) x 4
Wholemeal loaf.

PS I'm not a big fan of celery!

When do you know your sweetcorn is ready for picking? I’m starting to think it might be a bit late for it to get to fully ripe. I definitely have one cob on each plant but don’t know what signs to look for to say it’s really. 
I picked 4 big fat slug of the plants this morning. Even with all the defences I put in place.

  Pest ID please

I harboured the thought of putting up a picture of P, as the pest but thought better of it   Big Grin

Here's a picture from our local 'Nextdoor' website.  It says the insects are on a Norwegian spruce and elsewhere. I can't find anything on Google about aphids or weevils with a white bum. Can anyone shed any light what they are? Unfortunately I've no further information.

  Second hand books I've bought
Posted by: Veggie - 12-10-2024, 02:09 PM - Replies (33)

Other women buy shoes or handbags - my weaknesses are seeds and books.  When its raining or during dark evenings, I think of a word or theme and search the secondhand book sites - my favourites are AwesomeBooks and Music Magpie - both have FREE P&P. These books have just been delivered. Where to start? They cost £23 for 7 books and they're all like new.

"The Way Home. Tales from a life without technology" - Mark Boyle who wrote "The Moneyless Man" and the inspiration for the Moneyless Chicken. Big Grin
"Free. Adventures on the margins of a wasteful society. What happens when you walk away from everything you think you can't live without".- Katharine Hibbert.
"Adventures in Opting out - A Field Guide to leading an Intentional Life". - Cait Flanders.
"Seaweed and eat it. A family foraging and eating adventure" Fiona Houston & Xa Milne
"The Weeders Digest. Identifying and enjoying edible weeds" - Gail Harland. I like her books and this one has pictures!
"The new English Kitchen. How to make your food go further" - Rose Prince. Like the look of this one - although quite a lot of meat recipes that I'll ignore. Even ways to keep lettuce for longer and to use it in soup!!
"Diary of a Modern Country Gardener. Secrets for every season straight from the Potting shed " Tamsin Westhorpe. She lives and works on the family farm "Stockton Bury" which also has a garden open to the public. Looks quite humorous. 

PS. My last theme was "Zero-Waste". I now own several books like Zero Waste Kitchen, even Zero Waste Gardening!!
