Would the gardeners have to wear high viz vests?

Last year ours didn't flesh-out but were just spindly seedlings that refused to mature but, this year, we are now on our second crop.
La Senora, who was a total novice, simply sowed them in compost in a trough and watered them diligently (with a rose-spouted can, so as not to wash the seeds around) and they took a mere few weeks.

Have another go.

I have heard of councils who cite elf'n safety to prevent people from "guerilla gardening" but there is a kind of person who sees that as a challenge.
And good for them, say I.

It is amazing to be walking past a town-centre flower bed and suddenly notice trusses of lovely-looking tomatoes at the back of the bed ... and then start to notice everything else that is in there.

Traffic islands, for example, must amount to thousands of acres costing goodness-knows how much to maintain that, if handed-over, would be maintained for free by keen and hungry veggie growers.


Some of the finest tomato plants I've ever seen were growing wild on Albert & Alexendra docks in Hull. They were obviously from the faeces of dockers who were too idle or taken too short to make their way to the toilet blocks. Bloody tasty they were too.

About 10 years ago I was helping a friend source beers and ciders for his annual beer festival. We were out and about visiting micro breweries in Norfolk & Suffolk and I came across an enourmous pile of horse dung that was covered in the green, red and gold of marigold leaves & flowers. I filled two carrier bags with them and munched my way through them over the next couple of days






The older I get, the better I was

Advice is what we seek when we already know the answer - but wish we didn't

I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full-frontal lobotomy

I used to see tomatoes growing on the fringes of an actual sewage works.
I never tasted them as they were out of reach on t'other side of the fence but local lore was that they were self-sown from the obvious source (alimentary my dear Watson) and were splendid.

I do hope you washed these bounteous gifts of Mother Nature?

Yep.
We did some maintenance work at a sewerage plant in Wakey.
Thousands of tommies.
A jungle of them.

:lol: :thumb: good lad...
I was in the catering industry for a long while & to a fairly high level. Was a H&S trainer/assessor, risk assessment auditor amonst many other things. Washing stuff when I was a chef used to get on my goat & more so when watching staff as a manager wasting time washing fruit, toms, mushrooms, even cucumbers ffs!
Sure for a sandy or aphid ridden lettuce & other greens with soil in them but most stuff just isn't worth bothering with as it's totally ineffective at removing any surface pesticide residue

As it's Monday, it's Whinge Time !!

My pathetic whinge today is about food names, or, more specifically, mispronunciations of foods on food programmes etc.

Rösti is correctly pronounced Röschti (Rurr-shti), not Ross-ti.
Chorizo is Chor-ee-tho, not Chor-its-o.
Jalapeño is Hal-a-pen-yo, not Jalla-peeno.
Croissant is pronounced CRoissant, not Kwa-sont.
Döner is Durner, not Donner.

Any more to add?
Let's get 'em out in the open.

Corn beef ash, is correctly pronounced Corned beef- hash.
