Dissatisfied with Update 8 your Johnny Depp/cat quota? It could always be worse. You could have leaped into a lake to escape an attack by bees only to realize that the lake was full of piranha.

Wasn't that the plot from a 50's "B" sci-fi flick? Or possibly more than one...
That made me laugh for random content! Innit?!
Speaking of Black Country - tonights plans = too many beers, and lots of my dads favourie tunes, so:
Slade, ELO, Roy Wood (For the west midlands contingant), The Beatles, John Denver, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holy
Think we may have to draw the line at any cliff though - there are limits, even in these cases
I hope it went as well as these things do mate, and go nuts with the beer and music!
Probably should stick to that line though, as Leo might put you with Ender again if you start with Cliff...

Only on the weekends honey.
Sounds like you've had a good year. Pickled chilli's and cheese on crackers are the food of gods.
Everything vaguely American was disappointing for us this year - corn, chilli's, pumpkins - so xmas dinner is basically going to be Russian and consist of woody root veg and the remaining raspberry vodka.
My root veg were rubbish - managed to get 1 edible beetroot, which the better half said was very nice. My carrots were eaten, and my parsnips failed.
Raspberry vodka intrigues me, I've got a bottle of 6 year old Sloe Gin - which to be honest has only lasted that long, as I think it tastes like benelin, and dont like it. Hopefully some day somebody will pop by and say yes please, as I desperatly ofer them a glass of it
This will only be my third season growing garlic so no expert but I've had luck with the first two runs here in southern new england by planting them at halloween in well drained soil w/ a bit of fertilizer (I use manure as i try to grow as organically as I can) mixed in, planted with about an inch of soil over the top of each clove. I'll mulch the bed with leaves when I clean the yard later this month then leave them until spring. i usually see the garlic shoots coming through the mulch by mid march. Then I'll remove the winter mulch, fertilize again, and put down peat moss as a growing season mulch which is what I use on the rest of the garden. After that its maintained with the rest of the garden. Harvest has been end of July/ August. Bugs as xzanfr mentioned notwithstanding, I would also be most concerned with planting time spring/ fall (ask around locally for what's best there) and drainage so they don't get soggy, raised beds and slightly sandy soil helps here. I started with some good organic garlic from the market and this year will be a mix of some of that original garlic (2 generations on) and some new stuff. The larger cloves are supposedly the best for planting. If you try a variety that flowers, pull the buds as soon as they appear. Good luck if you try it again.
Cheers for that - will give it a go, you've given me hope again.
I think my biggest problem is the well drained soil. The garden soil aint great- flowers love it, but not much else, but the raised beds should be okay - they are farly new, so will try it in there.
FYI - My chillis etc I grow i pots in my greenhouse, and they are brilliant. The tomatos I grew outdoors in the raised beds, so here is hope.
Cheers
So, post 47,000 is a gif of Cliff Richard, with the comment "he's the British Elvis Presley..."
We do have excellent timing here!

I have a joke, but you have to say it out loud for it to work.
Imagine a zoo, but it has no zoo animals in it, only having one dog on show.
What do you call it?
A chitsu. (Also had to edit thanks to the filter)

I feel sad for Frontier this week. I have not logged on at all.
Does that mean Saturday and Sunday we have to call you Lola?
We don't have to. We just want to.
