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...
£15 million to Arsenal, £20 million to spend. Plucked out of the air, like the Mackems and their mythical pot of gold.
ReplyDeleteI notice a few of the other papers picked up on this - but still hope it's just froth. I consider him our biggest asset, on a par with or even better than Owen. He reminds me of Rooney in his hard work and controlled aggression.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. If it came down to losing one of our forwards, Mr Owen would be earning £50,000 a week less to lie on Man City's treatment table.
ReplyDeleteI do wish someone would coach Martins properly though. Too many rough edges for me.
