Title: Acronyms
Post by: isbister on August 24, 2007, 16:37:58
Branching off from the lottie wish list I'd like an acronym corner for reference purposes. A definitive list needs to be built up:

PSB.............Purple Sprouting Brocolli

JA................Jerusalem Artichoke

WRHM.........Well Rotted Horse Manure

RDOY...........Red Duke of York

SWP............Sean Wright Phillips..oh no sorry he's a footballer not a vegetable

MRYFDS........Moisture Retentive Yet Free Draining Soil (mythical substance)

etc

Please add
