The links here are interesting. I'm going all technical with football since I started reading Inverting the Pyramid.
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...
It does that to you, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI read his previous book - about Eastern European football - a couple of years ago. The preface mentioned Brockley Whins train station. I got all excited before I realised he was only describing his matchday route to the Stadium of Plight.
He means "Stadium of Shite", but plight is a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteMe mate tells me, when it comes to footy, you either get it or you don't. He's told me of times crying on his knees in the middle of the road, in the rain, because he was so happy that Man U had one. I guess I just don't get it.
