Fame at last!
We have a nice little piece in Feb's Country Living 'In the garden' page.
We didn't know anything about it until a friend emailed me last night, so it was a lovely surprise in the cold and wet of winter! On the same page is a new plant to me Hacquetia epipactis which apparently likes shade. It's lime green with a yellow centre and looks idea for a darkish corner. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

Remember, the credit's not mine! I'm pleased the web site is getting known because judging by myself and my shopping habits, I think it must be the way forward for a lot of businesses. Can't remember if I posted this but we were talking to the head of a large and well known SW nursery who said that 60% of their business is now done mail order. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

In Norfolk, where I used to live, it was a common practice to store root veggies, i.e. carrots in this way. Sacha kindly sent me the scanned item.

In the 1940s, we had a *wash house attached to our cottage and similar things in it to those shown on the programme I think she exaggerated how hard and how long the washing took. Central to the whole process was a coal/wood fired copper boiler which I think the programme omitted to mention Certainly my mother didn't devote most of her waking hours to washing clothes and the dolly/peggy stick didn't need enormous strength to operate, my brother and I used to take turns with it. I don't believe any woman in her right mind spent winter evenings in an unheated bedroom doing embroidery by oil lamp.. All the farm machinery they have shown so far was still in use in 1940s post war England, except a tractor was used to drive the threshing machine. -- Martin Martin, is this a series of programmes?

Great - must try and remember to get that tomorrow. Yes Hacquetia epipactis is rather fun and early flowering. Mine seems to have vanished, so it is now on the list of 'must gets'. Mine also disappeared after about 3 years! Pam in Bristol |
