some of us do and some don't lead the 'good life'.  But the last TV series was 'definitely' a pain to watch, unlike the original version.    No 'maybe' about it  ;D

[galina]

[pumkinlover]

[Stevens706]

Digeroo Just a guess

roo is for kangaroo some dig some don't and some box (as in boxing) which could result in pain.

Best I can do

[goodlife]

Didn't Digeroo already had her turn with swap...? ..but I don't mind double dip neither.. ;) ;D

[Digeroo]

My name did come up before but my computer had crashed so I could not take part at that time.  So I have not had a turn yet. 

But I cannot relate my name to the clue.  I'm not very good at these cryptic clues.

[pumkinlover]

Ok right name, but hey this is a gardening forum so relate the clue to gardening......

Must go should be on the M1 by now :D

[luckycharlie]

  I didn't have a clue who it was!!   ;D ;D

[Jayb]

List has been updated and I'm just about to send it off. Next name will be drawn as soon as Digeroo's had time to make her choices  :)

Getting harder to set clues the less people left in   ;D

[Digeroo]

Just got the lists - wow.  I shall be up all night trying to decide.

[pumkinlover]

The dig bit was right, some are no dig, the pain bit was oooow-My back hurts  :'( - might be from the digging ;)

[Digeroo]

I spent month originally digging  my allotment, but I am now trying to go towards a no dig system.  Back currently bearing up but the feet have gone on strike. ooooo.
I love it too can I change to Dig a Row? ;D  

Fab choice by the way.

I've read to use kitchen roll to put the sorted and washed tomato seeds on then peel them off.
However I'm finding it very, very tedious- another seed swopper told me to use a china plate to dry them off for this reason.
What do you do?

[Jayb]

Once fermented and rinsed, I drain briefly in a small sieve and then tip out onto paper or a paper plate. I think a saucer would do just fine, but I find it useful to write the variety name on the paper so I know whats what  :)

[Jayb]

I received Digeroo's seeds this weekend, lots of nice things  :) Seed list received tonight, I'll hopefully get it sorted in the morning. I've got a couple of parcels ready to post and I hope to get them all off tomorrow.

Next person's name was also sent at the weekend, so thinking caps on ready  ;D


I hope Pansy Potter dosen't mind me saying but I'd like to say a big thanks to her. She's fairly new to the forum, but what a generous and thoughtful person. She has sent a superb selection of seeds for us to share, although not needing any herself. What an A4A star   ;D

[grannyjanny]

I think Pansy was a lurker for a while ;D.

[Digeroo]

Next clue.

This was a great inspiration for my to take up growing my own.
