Christmas is coming

When will the turkey plants be ripe?

[@harryfaber]

I haven't planted any yet, but the big growers have a special breed that arrive ready stuffed and without the giblets. I think that they are a special variety, featherless, but in a plastic bag. Now, as part of your training to become English, you need to search for Fanny Craddock preparing a turkey for Christmas.

@@harryfaber I watched Fanny...I did ok until she started stabbing the goose with a fork. I couldn't concentrate on anything but her eyebrows...

[@harryfaber]

@@shedbythetracks She was compulsory viewing for all British children, that may explain a lot...

As knowledgeable as you have become with home repairs , you could subcontract to them at BLM

[@harryfaber]

There are days when subcontracting feels like a good idea!

Fabulous onion 🧅 I wish i had the knack of growing them 🤔

[@harryfaber]

They are simple, buy a small bag of onion sets, push them base first into some well turned soil, let the onion do it's own thing.

@@harryfaber Thanks Harry.i I had to give my allotment up some time ago as I couldn’t manage it on my own plus it was two bus rides away and I can’t do buses anymore (silly spine fragility) In my funny tiny back garden, I only have pots and a raised bed so the onion sets aren’t happy! I am thinking of growing some spring onions though 🤔 I did have some luck with those 😊
