The best way describe this there are many articles on Marrow Rum, I left two things using Brown Sugar= a drink like Captain Morgan Dark Rum
White Sugar= a drink like Barceod white Rum
I forgot to add the Yeast mix 1 small Bred Yeast mix with I squeezer Orange
The drink it self is less powerful smell etc to Palica but just as strong,
It takes a good year to reach it's best, there is many other ways on the Net.

Went to buy grass seed and bought a plum tree!

Never let men shop on their own.

I have been gathering loads of special offer leaflets from the shops lately as I'm low on paper for lighting the range. I was flicking through them this morning before I went shopping. I saw in the OBI leaflet what looked like a gooseberry bush for 799 Ft. I always did well with my gooseberry bush in Scotland so I went to OBI to get one. I found raspberry, blackberry, redcurrent etc plants and grape vines but no gooseberry. I had the leaflet with me and so I consulted it to check. It turns out the 799 Ft plant is a white wine grape vine but they have put a photo of a gooseberry bush in the leaflet! If I had known grape was szőlő in Hungarian I would have realised it was a mistake.

If I had 333ft for every time I have seen an ad in a leaflet or on the internet here, or even a price on a stand in a chemist, and been charged more than it stated,or the item was no longer available at that price , I'd be rich!!

We have also been collecting the leaflets as we're short of paper for the log burner ha ha!

Sounds relatively typical

You can get Gooseberry plants over here, we have a friend with a couple in her garden. The word you are looking for is növényfaj or Egres http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egres_%...%C3%A9nyfaj%29

It maybe worth looking on Starkl.hu not in English (or it never used to be) but very easy to work out, place your order and pay on delivery, have not used them in a few years but great service and range

Yes, some of these offers are for one day only and parts of the leaflet cover different dates so it's quite confusing. I did challenge them once in OBI when they overcharged me for axe wedges (wedges you knock in the top of the axe handle to stop the head from coming loose). It turned out they had put them on the wrong rack on the display so they really were 899 Ft for 2 little sharpened bits of steel.

Despite the fact we have a dusting of snow forecast in the garden things seem to be bursting into life with signs of fresh growth in the strawberry plot, the elderflower trees and most exciting of all we have the first asparagus spears just breaking the surface of the soil

Potatoes chitting nicely and will put them in next week. Very good crop last year which we finished eating last month.
Always get a good crop of Scarlet runners which are excellent for freezing. Everything else is a bit hit and miss for me but usually manage to grow more than enough and give a lot of produce away.

I have not sowed any seeds yet, the weather was just too bad. I am hoping this week to plant seeds. What about everyone else?

Trays of various seedling in the kitchen at the moment though many going leggy, should really put them in the mini greenhouse outside but don't have the time to set it up

Hope to get onions, peas and potatoes in this week - a bit late but hey ho.
Focusing on tomatoes, chilies, salad and paprikas this year as that is what we eat most of but also, some melons, aubergines and brassicas.
Wish I knew somebody with artichoke or asparagus plants - might get my daughter to bring some over.
