@JoJoFromJerz “Stick with Classics”… I went towards the Modern Language route.

@ChilliDiaries @techlab2k I always dehydrate it each year, and it’s my go to herb.

@ChilliDiaries That’s a stunning photo… I have a fairly well known clump or two near my house, but seem to be the only one picking.

@marktheman2010 @BackyardLarder @pvt_ak I wouldn’t buy off EBay then. I got mine for about £8 at first. Maybe £10 for my second set. And that was from a higher-priced garden centre.

@pvt_ak I’ve used two sets for ten years now. No damage. Great for sweet peas. Peas. Not used for anything else.

@MoorlandsEater You need to ask @AllotmentLena about her crinkle cutter..! She used it on the allotment challenge. I’ve got one but never use it.

@MoorlandsEater Ouch! Better stay off the sourdough for a bit.

@pvt_ak @lovely_plot My neighbour had a wild-sown one on his plot last year, with over 30 heads… weight brought it down in the end. But I was so envious. I’m in for the challenge.

@sunflower_bill I had a pair just like that when I was at Uni. Loved them.

@lovely_plot I have just nipped to Chinatown for promising ginger and turmeric. Picked up some eddoes too which have good foliage when growing. Not sure if the tubers multiply though.

@HolmesAllotment Sorry, Rudolf. But they are a red skinned type.

@HolmesAllotment Our allotment shop always sells Rooster, my poor neighbour grows them. Will try some too.

I do hope you will watch our Forbidden Art BBCTwo tonight (Thursday) at 9.00 pm. A cornucopia of art from the classic to the contemporary -- focussing on the changing history of what makes us feel uncomfortable, what gets forbidden, by whom. Apologies for the shots of me here!

@airpotgardener This sounds unusual enough for me to want to try to grow one. Even if it’s just one!!

@layingthetable @jennybowring1 I’m not sure I could ever do such a complicated pattern. I frogged my last cushion cover. Reused yarn for this creation. Still need to weave in some black vertical/horizontal lines. I’m now doing back in simple double crochet in the green.

I’ve found winter nights crocheting quite therapeutic. Stops me drinking AND binge watching… but I’m wondering who else will find the mistake in this tartan cushion cover… (Interweaving yet to be done!)
