Find Ancestors

Renes it is 14:17 Eastern time now I guess you were late.

Breakfast update for tomorrow:

Sorry couldn't find any roadkill so for tomorrow you will have to settle for fresh fruit trays, croissants, fresh baked scones
choice of jams along with an assortment of fresh squeezed juices. Butter being churned after I post this.

In deference to those way east of here I will put fruit and juices in fridge at 21:00 our time 01:00 GMT (Zulu time)

Scones will be in oven and will be ready to take out at 07:00 GMT.

No fighting over who gets what.

Bon appetit

Robert

Pancakes were delish.


Where's our Dea today? She hasn't been on here since yesterday. Hope you're okay out there....yoo hoo.


Renes, you must be starving poor thing. Have you some cornflakes to tide you over??

Jax

No - but it is true that only about 60% germinate - this is the first year I have grown them - I dug one up today - the peanuts grow underground - just like potatoes - and you are supposed to dig them up and leave on their side to dry
I sent some to my sister in Norfolk and she has them growing in her greenhouse !
They are a pretty plant - with deep orange little flowers - am uploading photos to FB later My sister also took rootings of my lemon grass and they are growing in the greenhouse - lemon grass grows wild in my garden - I rip it out and burn it !!! - she had heart attack when she saw me - says she buys in M&S at some ridiculas price


Renes

Have you had your cornflakes yet Renes? Don't want you fading away...

My parents bought a grow your own peanut thingy the otherweek, came with a little pot then you repot it when it grows.

Trouble is both parents and myself have cob nut trees in our gardens and the squirrels have had the lot

ja...x

Robert

Have I missed my flapjacks with Loads of Canadian Maple Syrup - what time was it served - I cannot believe I missed it

And ..........The Ulster Fry


Woooooooooaaaaaahhhhhh

Where are you and I will set my world clock



Renes

Cyn

Thank you for asking - my little white bones are showing thru - the "cornflakes" here are like little rubbery flakes - and as I don't like milk - not a lot of good really - only use them to make the choc crispy things with my own dried grapes - and almonds - don't have almond tree - cause there are hundreds here growing wild


Cyn - if you want to pm me your email I will send photos - as I did Dee


Where is Dee today


Renes

Renes, I am not sure I want to see pics of your little white bones thank you kindly.

Now Renes....do you mean Dee, Batmans daughter or our Dea Dea?

Both are nuts ;)

Jax
How lucky to have cob nuts - I bought a pkt of peanuts - in garden shop - they are just natural untreated peanuts - so I suspect if you buy them from a health shop they would be fine
I was looking at a pistachio nut and macadamia tree to plant this Autumn -

Have not seen cob nuts


May be a bit warm here

On Toronto and Montreal time 5 hrs behind GMT

Robert

Cob nuts....are they a staple of Kent? The Hairy Bikers used them in their show

Cyn

You know full well I meant my garden - not my bones !!!


Ginny - our Dea - for dearest



All this typing on my iPod - whilst starving is too much


Renes

Bird peanuts would be much cheaper to buy than some from the Health Food shop to try.
Same thing really only packaged to look nicer and dearer...

We eat the bird peanuts,as well as put them out for the birds of course.

Cob nuts are just large hazlenuts arent they...No dont think so...

Emmers is back...~~~~~~~~~

My parents have had one for years and when I lived in sussex there was one in the carpark where I was meant to park my car.
I moved here a year ago and only realised a couple of weeks ago there was one in this garden.
OH is from up north and he had never seen them before, well they are called kentish cob nuts so I expect the northeners don't get them

ja...x

Robert

Right got it on my world clock - it says just after 3.00pm in Toronto - and Montreal

So good afternoon Robert

Will look back and see if any Ulster fry left from this morning


Renes

Fans

I have not got a hope in hell of buying - peanuts for birds here

they think I mad throwing bread out on to trees opposite
my house

Renes

Jax - you can buy them though - it is a good idea - they are only little plants - not trees and very pretty

Renes

Ja...x

The difference in weather from Kent to Yorkshire is amazing

But.....I do remember when I lived in Canterbury; I had snow and ice on the INSIDE of my window one year....1986ish

..all the soverners were running around screaming 'Armageddon'

After reading the posts about nuts I will be in hiding just in case someone starts to talk about roasting another type of nut

Robert

Robert

We 'crush' nuts here ;)
