4.4 million whole potatoes are thrown out in the UK each day, making them one of the country’s most wasted foods. Potatoes can be frozen no matter how they’re cooked, and uncooked potatoes just need a 5-minute boil before they’re ready to be frozen too.

time. Getting busier now that Spring is (hopefully) really getting going. About a month or so of frost potential here still.

I suspect I'm in a minority of viewers (or at least tweeters) who don't really know much about this U2 band. But this chap is a gardener so who cares, eh?

Perlite is a non-renewable resource (its natural volcanic glass expanded at 1000ºC), so I wondered how sustainable it is as a long term horticultural growing medium. Turns out the current known supply is around 700 million tons.

Oh goodness I still need to find where my dahlias are. I know the tubers are somewhere out of the frosts but I've still not located them!

This chap with his self saved seeds and messy greenhouse is my kind of gardener. I think I'd get on jolly well with him.

This tulip garden on is giving the Dutch a run for their money. (ducks whilst Ivonne Smit throws tulip bulbs in my direction... 🤣🤣 )
