OK. I'll ask. What is "potatoes in sacks".

OH is the gardener here. I'm suicidal sally when it comes to growing things. I say what plant I like and he grows it.

Right now we have our mandarin and apricot trees and tomato and potatoes growing. And an experimental pineapple.

By the way I had a look on google street view for our house. Can't get to it. The vision stops on the street outside our little area. OH says it is because we are such important people our area is classified. Oh ha! I think it's because they have forgotten we are here.

Hello Aunty!!

We can grow potatoes in 'hessian' sacks so you don't need space in the garden as you can stand them on the patio or wherever suits you!!

They won again didn't they LG.
Potatoes. Do you mean fill the bag up with dirt and stick the spuds in the top and they grow??? And then when they are ready you just tip them out. We grow our potatoes in the garden or in large garden tubs (usually half wine barrels).

Yes Aunty thats just what you do with spuds. Yes we won but boy it was a boring match sooooooo slow .

YG. Sorry I posted over the top of you. The hair looks lovely. Do you have the same hairdresser as DET? Pink dreadlocks are all the rage right now aren't they.

By the way we have one more car race to go today and the CPs will be winging their way back to Nut Lodge. I might even fly them back courtesy Qantas as a treat. They have been so good. Some of them have even been talking about taking up employment with British Airways, so it will be to their advantage to see what they need to know.

Pink dread locks sound good to me LOL. Perhaps I should get some too

YG Report 13 Mar 2010 21:38

I presume you enjoy drinking the wine out of the barrels before planting the spuds Aunty!!

You certainly won't be able to fly the CPs back with BA unless you are quick!! Perhaps it would be a good idea to keep them there a little longer. I'm sure they must have got used to the heat and it's not quite warm enough here for a few more weeks.

LOL YG she would not stand up straight enough to plant spuds if she drank that much vino

YG

YG Report 13 Mar 2010 21:53
