I had a guess, found some similar concrete and kerbstones but couldn't find a match

I've got loads of seeds if you want to give them a shot. Got ours as a 3' potted plant I think. No idea how long it would take to produce from seed

Yeah they are just as potent as those you get from Chinatown supermarkets, maybe more so. It's a pretty tree as well with great autumn colour and killer spines.

Sichuan pepper harvest

On lining paper I like it but I'm incapable of getting a clean join between pieces. There's always a bubble/crease.

Counted 8 snipe I think as well

Grey heron getting annoyed at a gull today at Amwell in the Lee Valley

You might find if you get a quote from your existing lender they have already come up with a value. YBS had when I did ours

Finally getting a loft ladder put into an existing hatch following the recommendations on this thread. I'll need to paint the architrave around the opening which has years old gloss. Do I try to remove it, strip and sand, reinstall and paint properly or just overpaint it?

Thinking a quick overpainting job won't be too noticeable since it's in the ceiling and will minimise mess - everything else is already decorated, so the less sanding the better really. Will I live to regret this?

two lorry loads of pork

Anyone seen Truss recently?

Still a strulch fan here. I don't find it blows around - if anything it mats down a bit. Local cats haven't seemed to realise it's an ideal litter tray either.

For mulch basically any organic matter as long as it's not full of perennial weed seeds. I'd save high nutrient things like manure for the spring to avoid it leaching away in a wet winter.

Much of the software that goes to market is wonky stepladders all the way down.

Placed upside-down

Our local Tory party newsletter that gets put through the letterbox is called, without a shred of irony, InTouch

Cat on a hot tin roof is on iPlayer and worth a watch if it passed you by

apple day.

Forty Hall Farm in Enfield just had theirs last Sunday. I can recommend going to one

Yes, but this particular one isn't there any more. Not sure if the others have also taken flight.
Also this is not the tag, people. Tag is still Will's cemetary one.

I was going to do this but they've taken it away.
Golden owl hunt was the inspiration for the latest episode of Unexpected Elements on the World Service.

I have never seen the series

I'm down to the final episode and it's all been brilliant so far

Trying an experiment this year. Garlic planted quite close together (10cm or so) and then onion sets placed between the rows at similar spacing. In theory the leaves will come up between the bulbs and the roots shouldn't interfere as they're at different depths but maybe it will be a disaster of pea-sized bulbs, we'll have to see I guess. The leaves will definitely interfere a bit, but since they're so long and thin I'm hoping it won't matter too much.

Enjoyed S2 of The Cleaner on iPlayer. Couple of meh episodes but the Committee was great.

Ludwig was good too, just don't go in expecting the story to be resolved

Nobody said anything about hills

Might be adding another bodge to the list but I'd be tempted to epoxy a wooden dowel into the hole and screw into that without predrilling. The fixing would hopefully compress the wood enough that it holds tight?

So where did you find it?

Wait, there's an app?!

I've used Everedge and am happy enough with it
