What's going on in your garden (2018-2022)?

Are mint sauce and mint jelly the same thing? I've never had either.

Mint sauce is made with vinegar and is quite sharp to cut through the richness, and sometimes the fatness of the lamb. Mint jelly is sweeter, and not so good.

It's generally served with roast lamb here, I've never seen it offered with beef or chicken. Do you not have it on lamb?

Yes on lamb and also mint jelly as well. I love it on anything,lol.

We had one of those running around here a few years ago. With that lovely white highly-visible fur, I don't think he lasted long. He was here and gone before summer ended.

Finally coming out of winter so getting ready to sow seeds in punnets this weekend or direct in the next few weeks. I have plans for beetroot, celery, celeriac, kale, peas, radish, spring onions & different lettuce varieties

Yorky what is that? Some kind of possum or squirrel species?

I thought it was an albino squirrel. We get them here sometimes.

 

[TastyReuben]

That's just a white squirrel. I don't think the little fellow is albino, though (eyes aren't red/pink). We see them here every so often.

If you're ever in Detroit, they have a population of the most striking black squirrels. I was there for a few days last year and found them fascinating.

I thought it was an albino but as TastyReuben said, it's eyes are not pink. I've seen it, or another the same, a few times now. But that was the first chance I had of taking a photo.

Planting out radishes and peas. Good result almost 100% strike rate.,
Experiment 1: soaked peas for two days vs straight from packet. My mum always soaked for two Dayton grow earlier.
Result: no noticeable difference. 45 out of 48 planted. Kids will get half.
Planting water melon, beans and more radishes and lettuces.
Nice day here with sun out and high if 15 deg c.
