This is a great way to stay in touch with, say University Challenge, for the itinerant teacher. Subject to bandwidth.
Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard
For the 2nd time in a week or so, (1st time regarding dwarf beans ), I'm following Alys Fowler's advice, this time with regard to Swiss chard . Long story short, after midsummer plants which often bolt if planted in spring will resist the impulse to do so, probably because of shortening days; (I say shortening, but in Glasgow, in July, we're still getting 18 hours of daylight). I got a packet of Bright Lights , at a good price, (another reason to wait until July before sowing, lots of bargains, I've noticed). But where to sow them? Most of the 2nd bed is under a tarpaulin, but it wasn't quite big enough to cover the whole bed, so the last 5ft or so went under a sheet of plastic, (in the background of the photo in this post, here .) Transparent plastic was a foolish idea, weeds were growing underneath it, so I covered most of it with sheets of metal from the old shed. I decided to leave the tarp, but use the area beneath the plastic for the chard. Who-ah there...
I tried it out and got a message that said 'This video is only available to be played in the UK.'
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's really annoying - I just found that out myself today after making this post.

Coincidence I read this post today as I just finished watching the compiled download of the Summerhill play shown on BBC 3, which I downloaded via BBCi. Really enjoyed it as it goes. As an educator yourself you might enjoy it to - I'm sure you must know the history of the school. Got to be quick though as it's only on there for another few days. DRM crappiness. The same reason some stuff is only available in the UK.
