Does anyone freeze courgettes?   I've tried and they've tasted horrid.  I don't mind them going mushy as they will go into soups, sauces, etc but how do you make them taste ok.

Probably there will be some members of the forum able to identify me from what we will call a previous life, while others will be like me unable to say who some of the forum members were in their previous life if the have changed their names, so as I like to read novels it made me wonder how many of us can identify famous authors who write books under a different name and if so who, again I am not one who can

My comfrey has been neglected and not been cut.  It is. Now very tall and has powdery mildew.  I've cut it down and there are new shoots appearing. Should I bin the prunings or compost them?  Has anyone else had this problem?

Tomato blight is always a question of when not if, but late June is a bit early. I've been stripping off the infected leaves almost daily, but today the blight hit the stems so I've chopped the plants off to below that point, but don't hold out much hope of harvesting very much. There are a few trusses, but one pineapple now has one truss and no leaves at all!!

The infected plants are marmande, bradywine & pineapple and are the first ones I planted out. Interestingly they are also the ones that stick out beneath the roof of the tomato shelter so have been rained on a little. The ground is mulched to avoid spash back - this is photo is last year's frame before planting with a straw mulch; I've gone back to grass clippings this year.     


Today I sprayed with Bordeaux mixture in the hope of saving the rest, but it is probably too late.

I was going to have a go as saving spring onion seeds. 
There’s no info on the real seeds saving guide, I’ve just looked.
To be honest I don’t even know if spring onions are annual or biannual    .

Will my selected Ones flower this year?

We all know there will probably be a glut.  In fact some of us are already half way there. 
What's your favourite way of using them up.

I spiralize, fry, steam, micro and grate.  I even have that book 'what shall I do with all these courgettes ' or something like.  Let's compile a thread with more ideas.

I expect there will be a tomato thread like this as well.

Why do we, myself included, always so diligently hide our true identity from any forum.  I can understand it if you happen to visit dodgy sites and want to remain totally anonymous but on a forum like ours where we are all above board and friendly (I hope) why do we guard or privacy so closely.  Im not wanting to upset anyone, just wondering.  By the way I'm Jenny, I answer to Jen, Mum or hey you!

Here's a couple of pictures of a new apple tree we were given as a present. Planted this year, keeps well watered and I took all the fruitlets/ flowers from it to keep its energy in getting established. Now on the younger leaves especially I've found this. There is also ant  activity around the leaves but we have loads of ants so I wasnt greatly surprised about that. Any idea who these fellas are and how to get rid if needs be?

   
   

Well I visited a couple yesterday just to see the difference, and.....
 
One asked my name and contact details the other didn't.....
 
I didn't see any hand sanitiser but wasn't really looking.....
 
Social distancing, ish.....
 
Busy, about the same for a Saturday afternoon (time was between 1pm - 4pm)
 
Football was on in both, I thought they weren’t showing it???
 
Summary, the staff and customers were pleasant and doing their best, did I feel like I'd missed the pubs, not really, will I be going back, of course
