Planting bulbs on a late Winter's afternoon (this is ratherlong, so be warned.....it's been awhile)
"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... Sorry, M, this group is very strictly text only. Lots of UK posters are on dial-up connections, paying for every call. Virtually every UK isp would strip out your post from their newsfeed. It's an even bigger no-no here than on rec.gardens. Janet which explains why you didn't get the picture I sent to you of the corydalis that is blooming at the absolute wrong time of the year.............................. maddie |

"Sue" wrote in message ... "Janet Baraclough" wrote from "Sue" As a by the bye, none of madgardener's posts are showing up on my isp's server. I only realised when replies appeared, and I see someone else has noticed the same. The posts -do- appear via readfreenews though. I asked my ISP about missing articles but so far they claim it's either my newsreader settings (it isn't) or that the posts must be filtered because of spam or a virus (can't see why they would be). Is your newsreader set to reject posts which are more than a certain number of lines long? M's are usually long. No, it's not that, even her shorties were missing. I found I could see them all if I d/l the group via the freebie readfreenews server. All I can think is that Plusnet's server is excluding them, or otherwise not picking them up for some reason. They plead ignorance but I've asked them to look into it because it's annoying having to crosscheck servers just in case. -- Sue I appreciate your persistance in hunting down me posts, Sue. I have every type of filter and spam and virus protection there can possibly be. So I know I'm clean......plus Microsoft regularly binds up my files with "updates" so I'll be further protected. Of course, I don't even know if you'll be able to see THIS! sigh..... maddie |

Makes me think of that line in Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop
Café. "older, richer, more insurance". ;-) (Just to get us back to horticulture, of course!) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) one of my favorite books AND movies......LOVE Fannie Flagg. She has a new book, by the way. And another one, is (despite it being a bit weepy) is Steel Magnolia's and Driving Miss Daisy. That that doesn't kill us only serves to make us stronger. I figured out the twist early in Fried Green Tomato's (and then bought the book) because I knew how people did things in the South. And yes, I DO make bodacious fried green tomato's. there is an ART to making them properly. maddie |

I don't think fried green tomatoes are a big 'thing' in UK but maybe they should be, given how many of our tomatoes don't ripen in our not-great-summers. But Driving Miss Daisy and Steel Magnolias are among my all time favourite films, along with Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino and Baghdad Café. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

On 17/12/05 19:29, in article , "madgardener" I don't think fried green tomatoes are a big 'thing' in UK but maybe they should be, given how many of our tomatoes don't ripen in our not-great-summers. To do that would require a good cornmeal and some all purpose flour....and they can't be TOO green. But Driving Miss Daisy and Steel Magnolias are among my all time favourite films, along with Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino and Baghdad Café. Haven't seen Cinema Paradiso I believe, and Il Postino, but have seen Baghdad Cafe', that was interesting. one of my off the wall movies I adore is Saving Grace..........it cracks me up. I need to laugh g there are too many movies I really like now to list. it's one of the things we indulge in, or maybe it's distraction from things that should concern me. but I appreciate good acting and a good plot and nice details. ouch, the kitten decided to attack my braid and she dug into my shoulder and upper left arm, gotta go put some alcohol and neosporin on it before it trys to get cat scratch fever. E-mail me sometime and clue me in on what you garden and where. I'm always facinated. off to disinfect meself! maddie -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Or 'all purpose flour' we have plain flour, and self raising flour. Alan |

Or 'all purpose flour' we have plain flour, and self raising flour. There's a translation in most of the cookery books we get but don't need. Anyhow, whichever way you slice them (or cook or pickle or chutney the damn' things), green tomatoes are rubbish.
