You may also find they settle down as they get a bit older and the branches thicken up. Oh, and the juxtapositioning of the two forum sigs above is hilarious!

For a horrible moment I thought it was a trocar and cannula but it isn't. As soon as I looked up what one of those was, the difference was obvious. It looks like the notches are simply to allow the end to be splayed but maintain a straight line rather than a curl. This means that you couldn't...

This suggestion might be more for BB than you, but have you considered adding German Chamomile to your Herbals? You already have the dehydrator of course. I know Roman Chamomile is the ground cover plant and German is the tall, leggy one with the supposedly better taste.

It might be a nice idea to add the top post and final result of this to your blog, BR. It is excellent info. Another fruit tree related post that you might consider is pruning advice on trees such as apple since you are looking after quite a few now. I had a small Red Windsor and a Meech's...

Plums can freeze for a while too for crumbles. Stone them first. You may be able to get hold of a secondhand copy of Phyllis Hobson's Making and Using Dried Foods book. ISBN is 0-88266-615-0 Here is the link to British Red's blog to do with apple rings...

There are a couple of importers on Amazon.co.uk who list the All-American pressure canners in the two most common sizes but I think Amazon.com will allow us to order them direct too with the Amazon Worldwide shipping. I have had the All American 921 on my wishlist for ages waiting for me to move...

That would be such a Wayland thing to do. Just point any detractors to the last panel and while they are leaning forwards... whack!

Do you have the option of tapping them with a long screw and extracting them to redo?

You will have to get little cards with copies of the relevant parts of the story on it because you will be 'splainin' to folks everywhere you take that box.

I know you said the faces are hard to do but the fabric is really effective. You should be proud of this!

Bothvild bringing the ring to be mended and Wayland offering beer?

And you are teasing us with a slice of the centre panel too!

It was fully constructed this time, for rigidity.
