Inspirational Recyclying



The photograph says it all.

Of course it helps when your tomato plants are "styled" by Country Homes & Interiors Magazine stylist Lucyina Moodie and the photograph is taken by Tim Young.

Tulip Tip

Tulips continue to grow even after they have been picked so to prevent them from going all floppy in a vase prick the stem with a needle at the base of the flower.

Little Green - Apples



I walked past the green grocers in town today and noticed that the apples he had for sale were from Chile. Chile, how may thousands of miles away is Chile?

I buy my apples from a local farm shop, currently available are Jonagold, Ida Red, Crispin, Cox's Orange Pippen, Gala and Bramleys. Not all of these apples are traditional English varities but they were all carefully chosen by the grower so that he had apples to sell for at least 9 months of the year and they are all grown in the orchard behind the shop. Zilch food miles. Plus I get the added advantage of seeing the trees in blossom.

Where were the apples in your fruit bowl grown?
