Quote from: Stottie Girl on Yesterday at 05:10:08 AMCan't wait to get in my new house as the back garden is 3x bigger. Definitely going to plant a Rhubarb patch and a Bramley apple tree. Can't beat apple and Rhubarb Crumble!

It was raw rhubarb dipped in sugar fresh from my grandmothers rhubarb patch when I was a kid. I'm not sure I would do it now though. She did make amazing crumble with it. And custard.

Yeah, used to do that myself I remember it being really nice. Not tried that since I was a kid.

I top dress clay soil with compost made out of fall leaves and grass clippings.

Easter hams went on sale today.  I bought a Carando boneless spiral ham for $13 at $3.50/lb. I hunted around for the smallest one they had on sale.
Also bought some Key West shrimp and a shallot.  It makes sense to buy small quantities of produce so it doesn't spoil before you can use it all.

Do you have golf on your schedule this weekend Marion?

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Not yet, as it is cold and wet, though some courses have recently opened.

Have lots of fun this season golfing!  What does a round (18 holes or 9 holes) cost?  Do you walk or get a golf cart?  Does your bag roll easily or do you carry it?  Do you keep a full set of clubs in the bag or just a select few?

I need to get back out on the golf course this year. I haven't played for over two years after I tore the ligaments in my wrist trying to hack out of the rough!

I know you weren't asking me but I've always walked and carried my clubs. You end up walking so much further if you have a trolley. I carry a full set.

My local course green fees are now £45.00 for non members in the summer. Golf is not a cheap sport!

I plan to sign up for Senior membership at a course that will allow me to play during weekdays for $550 a year.

I learned to play with just five clubs on a 9 hole executive course.  I found another cheap course last year and learned how to swing my driver for good distance and accuracy. I also started playing anywhere between 18 and 44 holes last year, walking the course with a push cart for my clubs.

I had a fitting and bought half a set of clubs.  Over the years I've inexpensively bought clubs on eBay and rebuilt them to fit me.  I have a lot of wedges for different course conditions.  Most of the time I play with a full set of clubs but sometimes I'll play with a half set.
