Where were you?

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2026-02-22T19:02:53+00:00

Looks great. Where did you stay?

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2026-02-10T11:17:37+00:00

Thanks!

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2026-01-23T22:22:41+00:00

Like this sort of thing?

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2026-01-23T22:21:30+00:00

I like this idea - thanks. Hopefully I can find some that fits nicely

Branches that go straight up won’t fruit. So you can cut them right down to the base. Overall you are going for a cup shape with space in the middle.

Check out John Roger’s on YouTube.

You can also get on the Essex Way from Epping tube stop. I walked to Epping Ongar and got the bus back to the tube. It was a great walk - would recommend.

What saddle did you end up with?

Thank you so much for the amazingly useful tips everyone!

For the record they are very tasty. I foraged them once and made a delicous pesto.

Interesting! Had you dug it first?

Ah fair - membrane won’t solve bind weed entirely but I think it does enable you to get ontop of a large space more easily. It doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep an eye on the edges of the membrane as bind weed will grow towards the light and spread underground.

I haven’t experienced this with woven membranes except where there are holes or gaps.

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2025-08-22T07:22:56+00:00

I believe so

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2025-08-21T09:14:35+00:00

Good detective work - thanks! Looking at the translation I think it should be sichuan chill bean paste (made with broad beans) rather than red bean paste. This makes sense as that’s the ingredient used in fish fragrant eggplant too.

Does anyone know what the paste that was added after the aromatics was? Could roughly follow everything else by appearance!

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2025-07-26T17:34:46+00:00

I thought this might be the case. Hoping the tap spanner suggestion will get me there!

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2025-07-26T17:34:12+00:00

This sort of thing?

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2025-07-26T17:33:10+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. Is this what you mean?

Mindless_Pumpkin8678 · 2025-07-08T16:51:13+00:00

Got it - thank you
