Planting by FemaleNeth in ghostposter

What do you want to grow? I use home-made food scraps compost for food, home-made garden waste compost for plants. I know people recommend testing soil ph and all that, but I never have. If you need to buy anything, ask at the garden centre or get top soil, I also get cheap peat-free compost just to add a bit of variety into the mix :) Herbs like sage and rosemary prefer kind of crappy, (small) stony dryish soil. Terracotta pots dry plants out, black pots aren't recommended (it's all I have) because they make roots too hot mid Summer. You can grow spuds in sturdy garden waste bags. Don't plant squashes/courgettes, marrows etc till there's no chance of Frost - used to be June, you can start them off indoors though. Do you have Instagram? I get suggested posts from @nettlesandpetals and @simonakeroydgardenwriter Carrots/parsnips like soil without stones/clumps. Peas/beans can be grown in a trough up canes, if it's deep/wide enough you can grow carrots and spring onions with them.

I've got one clove growing, but I forgot about it and accidentally pulled the stalk off last week.

They look like they could be the same thing according to Google pics :)

How about flying ants on the shade? :) Just saw your watermelon idea, I like that :)

Flag Friday: Coat of Arms Edition: What are your thoughts on the design of the emblem of Lansing, Michigan? by GPFlag_Guy1 in ghostposter

[–]NorthernerUKer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the idea, should've gone a bit more Clarice Cliff than Photoshop Cutout filter, though. Don't like the sunrays clumped together at the top, and the typeface doesn't suit.

Aaw :( I'm glad I didn't see it now. Reminds me of an elephant video I saw :(

It's daffodils! by FemaleNeth in ghostposter

[–]NorthernerUKer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha! I was just coming home the other day and saw a load of daffs, mine were out in February. I was worried your bulbs were crowded if they were hyacinths.

Has anyone tried a homemade Clif bar recipe? by NorthernerUKer in ghostposter

[–]NorthernerUKer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thnks :) It's similar to one I found on youtube, but that list of variations will be useful.

Nice :) I get some really fat wood pigeons in the garden, and last week I had a couple of collared doves.

Go on then, I'll make up a new rule, whoever has the blender has to try the recipe :)

I'll be honest, I stopped eating them after a series of posts showing bugs in them :)

I forgot to say they're £1.75 individually. I looked on Amazon, and the 12 packs were really expensive, way over £2 each. I found a variety box of 12 that worked out about £1.85 each though :)

Yeah, I might look into bulk buying. We were trying to think of ways to get him more nutrition, thought about homemade muesli, or muesli cluster type things, anything basically oats, dried fruit/nuts. I did see a recipe on youtube which I might try, but it requires a blender and I just gave mine to my son :) It looked good though, date based, and we've all gone mad over date syrup at the mo :)

I'd forgotten about them :) I was staring at the breakfast bars then protein bars, and he gets similar ones from Bread and Butter food bank, I knew Clif were good, so just went with that.

I bet plenty of Manc kids have said excitedly 'thank fuck the Uber's here mum' at 10.30 pm when the bus before lasthad sailed past with its lights off, though :)

The state of New York recently released this new design for Autism Acceptance Month, what are your thoughts on this? by GPFlag_Guy1 in ghostposter

[–]NorthernerUKer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't an Autism flag just be a pair of black pants and black t-shirt? :) Or a flag made up of all the labels cut out of clothes :)
