It was obvious that your truck load was too much for any man... not so for the Amazonian women of Lincolnshire who would have found time to reapply their make-up and multi task while <strike> barking </strike> chipping :) I personally have developed a method of hauling the bags into a wheelbarrow, opening it up and then spreading it a hand full at a time..... no one said we were quick :) Cid Miles,

I think I'll try the apple kohlrabi mix. It sounds like such a nice blend. Anne, I'm also going to put kohlrabi on my list for soup ingredients. Cid & Anne -- don't leave without me!

A week or so back I re-barked parts of the garden and today the sweet smell of the earth and bark chips was heavenly. Here's to simple things. Cid Miles,

It's a shame we can't get Melissa to come with us, and Sharon with her coconut tarts... what a feast we would have! Cid Anne,

I will try the apple.Kohlrabi mix. Melissa, Yes, I just peel/chop it and add it to my vegetable soups. Kohlrabi is not readily available here and I have mainly found it in a german outlet here. Still snow, Mellissa? I have had enough of the cold weather here, never mind snow as well. I think we are all ready for some warm sunshine/vitamin D! Anne Miles,

If the scallops are cooked properly you don't need a lot of sauce. Miles Anne,

Drain, dry and 'crisp' in a shallow frying pan or on a baking sheet in a hot oven. Lovely and crunchy! Miles Cid,
