Alright, alright, I know I didn't blog about the Blackpool game...
...but fucking hell.
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...
Going on Ben Arfa's record in France, we might only have him for a season before he either spits the dummy out with Hughton and punches Joey Barton in the face. But you need someone who can do the unexpected in the Premier League and his goal showed exactly why he's worth the risk.
ReplyDeletePlus, the optimist in me remembers Cantona.
Or punches Joey Barton in the face.
ReplyDeleteMind, both at once would be quite funny.
It's going to be interesting, that's for sure, bringing somebody with a bad temper into a tight-knit dressing room, which already contains Barton and Carroll. So there'll be training ground punch ups OR an amazing season. Or possibly both.
ReplyDeleteThis is where we see Hughton's ability as a man-manager. So long as all's well on the pitch, and if they keep their hands off each others girlfriends, we should be ok.
