>>How do you know that peelbananas is a she?

Just a gut feeling - though I suppose a male could be flirting with you - who knows!!!

>>Still not quite clear why earthing up involved accidentally digging up baby Charlottes.<<

When I started to dig between the rows in order to earth up, I found that some of the new tubers were being exposed - hence I stopped. Should still have lots of Charlottes but perhaps not so many as if I'd earthed up the rows properly.

>>Have I ever told you I played cricket on Christmas Day on the telly?<<

You did mention it but that's a story the details of which are waiting to be told!

What do you do with all these potatoes? You can't keep them v well can you? Do you eat nothing but potatoes as soon as they're ready to harvest?

>>No, definitely not, you post it as you got it, I didn't have a clue

Can't post it - working - go on, it's obvious from the little story and (s)he'll be pleased you got it!!!

>>MJ <<

bye Jane

Potatoes do keep very well - my Desiree from last year were still fine when I dug them up in March/April. They kept better in the ground than if I'd dug them up and kept them at home.

No no no - you got it, you post it, it's not exactly a fast moving thread after all is it?

Ah! If deep enough they stay frost free then? I thought parsnips had to be left in for a frost but then they're higher up...

Have you seen I've added the twin 42 calculations?

Goodnight,

Yes, just had a quick look.

Must ask Eric to put yours on his page.

Don't think Uncle Fred's noticed I posted him one with his no.s! (Not an old one after all. Realise now he joined only when the Archers moved to dna.) Can't resist 'em! Have discovered that i do like playing with numbers after all!

Must GO!!!

Ian from Doncaster got Angela's Ashes before you had a chance to post. Never mind.

That's fine by me! I'm working on another Sound Charade but it might be a bit odd...

Hello Jane,

Another very windy day here today so didn't have another go at planting the sweetcorn out. It's currently sitting in the kitchen about 2 ft plus tall longing to be in the ground. Think wind is going to die down tomorrow - I hope!

In another vain attempt to get myself organised, I bought a new set of stacking in-trays today - I already have a set of six on the desk next to the computer, they're no use whatsoever - I just pile everything onto the top one (labelled "IN") so still haven't a clue where anything is. One of them has a label stuck on it with nothing written on it - no idea what's supposed to go in there.

PS what do you think about the blog? No smileys in comments (well I can't see how to do them), no eyes, but it does have some good points.

I've spent far too long messing around with that blog, I just can't resist tinkering!! See what you think.

More snap this evening, the third time this week, perhaps a bit too much. It was only because I had to go on Tuesday as the host and ended up playing when I thought I'd probably come home.

I think blog looks very tasteful now - and the pink aardvark's on it as well! Click on the little picture to see it full sized.
