My next experiment

Fleur @Fleura (31006) • United Kingdom 14 Nov 22

Can’t remember what number I’m on now, but anyway I have been trying out new ways to use garden produce, especially grapes right now! My next experiment was grape and apple chutney. I got this recipe from the BBC Good Food...

You’ll Get Nothing and LIKE IT!

Four Walls @FourWalls (71337) • United States 30 Sep 22

After thinking for a minute (as long as I can think without giving myself a headache ) I realized I had nothing for a new countdown. So that’s what you’ll get. And, in the words of Ted Knight’s character in...

First, I’d like to wish a very joyous chag sameach and L’Shanah Tova to all our Israeli and Jewish myLotters. Secondly, I’m going to have to do more of these countdowns. I left a lot of songs off the list! But for the...

Do you believe things happen for a reason?

Angie @andriaperry (118227) • Anniston, Alabama 30 Sep 22

I've always felt this way but not really asked many people. I listened to my elderly friend no matter that I would feel like a burden if I did. She was right. I have been thanked, and they bragged on me, for helping when it...

John Evans no often things happen for no reason but we switch it around to say it happened to make us better people, which it doesnt ;-)

Does anyone else here sell on eBay?

Fleur @Fleura (31006) • United Kingdom 13 Sep 22

I have sold odds and ends on eBay for several years now. Things that I know a charity shop would never bother with (or simply couldn’t take) but that I’m sure someone out there must want. All kinds of things from vintage vacuum...

Death Of The Queen And State Imposed Grief

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44998) • Preston, England 10 Sep 22

The death of the monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, seventy years into her reign, is undoubtedly a pivotal moment of history and for many, an event that creates great sadness and mourning. I have to say I am less moved than many. To...

Do You Notice People Resigned To Stay Home?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1119) • United States 10 Sep 22

I wonder if it's my age, so if you can include that in your reply (or an estimate), it might make more sense. I'm 40. I'm not as out-going as I used to, and the pandemic plays a part. I'm not just going to go out for the hell of...

What makes a beautiful garden?

Fleur @Fleura (31006) • United Kingdom 7 Sep 22

I love my garden. I also enjoy visiting other gardens, just to appreciate their beauty and sometimes to inspire me and garner fresh ideas. On a recent garden visit as I strolled alongside a huge herbaceous border I asked myself...

John Evans you should always try to plant in odd numbers , unless its a specimin tree or bush, yes repetition works , it could be a repeated colour or shape rather than the same plant.Ive seen some on the internet where they give a detailed plan of what and where to...

Neil @Neil43 (3557) 5 Sep 22

How do you feel when you spend money that you earn online?

Diana @dya80dya (36936) 3 Sep 22

I feel that online money is much harder to earn. When I am buying something that I need I find it hard to enjoy that thing. Online I have to wait for years to reach a decent amount. A few years ago I worked for a year to buy a...

Marlina @marlina (154129) • Canada 3 Sep 22

Hummingbird Approves of New Feeder

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 1 Sep 22

Bought this hummingbird feeder last year and never put it up in the garden. Finally decided to have it attached to a pole in the garden would be better than actually using the hanger it came with. I have one hanging on the deck...
