Arsenal, now?
It's a measure of how things are that I didn't hear this news on Radio 5 just now and say, "Oh, fucking hell!" but instead thought, "Hmm, juicy."
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...
and then you go lose to stoke... at home... tsk..
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that too.
ReplyDeleteI hope Hughton's not turning into one of those stubborn managers. Carroll up front with Nolan behind is too conservative when you're up against the likes of Stoke and Blackpool. Then we panic, stick an extra forward on, and concede a sucker goal.
