Post by: gtm41658 on July 29, 2006, 10:41:34: Tim,

- click on the top most box in which you have data in the column that you want to total,
- highlight all the boxes below this point and to a point where you want to place your total, the boxes should all be shaded...
- then click the symbol that appears to be a capital 'E' on the toolbar...sorry don't know the techie term for this....
- this should then give you a total at the bottom of you column...
you can do the same for rows.....hope this helps

Post by: sarah on July 29, 2006, 12:24:09: thats a lot of cucumbers. do you and your family/friends eat them all fresh or do you preserve them aswell? can you preserve cucs? i am very impressed. i am growing three plants this year (first time) outside and am getting about one/two every couple of days which i am pleased with. i am amazed how different they taste to the shop bought ones.

Have looked in Delia on Line but can find no recipe for sweet pickle. Could you share your source - or recipe - please Tim?

Thanks

Post by: tim on August 06, 2006, 06:36:24: Thanks to Gerry, here's the totalled-up table for Jun/Jul. Interesting the near consistency, with some wild differences?

But, try as I may, I can't get the Grand Total to print!!

editing..................http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/photo04/veg/cusjunjul.jpg

Oh - & I see that the headings haven't printed. They are as before - first 4 are Flamingo (the long ones) - the others are Passandra.

Post by: Svea on August 06, 2006, 09:39:27: are you sure you took 22 cucumbers of the one plant on the 28th july?
or is this a typo?
Title: Re: Thought you might like to see how the cus are faring?
Post by: tim on August 06, 2006, 10:48:54: Poor eyesight - thanks, Svea.

Even less impressive than the last total. Got 400 to beat!!
Title: Re: Thought you might like to see how the cus are faring?
Post by: Svea on August 06, 2006, 15:03:05: well maybe, but the averages look much better. so, what's wrong with with no.4 flamingo, and no.3 passandra then?
Title: Re: Thought you might like to see how the cus are faring?
Post by: tim on August 06, 2006, 15:45:08: Could be the way I've pruned them?

Courgette and Apple Chutney

A sweet chutney ideal with tasty cheese, in sandwiches, on toast or with cold meats.

1.5kg courgettes
2 tsp salt
1.5kg apples
500g onions
750g sugar
2 litres vinegar
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp ginger
¾ tsp ground black pepper
juice of 1 lemon

Slice the courgettes finely, place them in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt and let stand overnight.

Peel and finely chop the apples and onions. Combine with the courgettes in a large saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and cook very slowly for about 2 hours, until the mixture is thick.

Spoon into hot, clean jars and seal.

I haven't tried mine yet - letting it stand for a month or so first.

Post by: tricia on August 07, 2006, 13:25:11: ;D ;D Sorry Tim - didn't mean to barge in on your thread, but way back I thanked you for another recipe and in passing mentioned I had just made the apple and courgette chutney. Terri asked me to post the recipe. So, when I remembered - I did :P.
