We were getting up about 5am in the summer to turn the hay before it got hot. Very satisfying running the rows up though

I think it’s me, not you. I’m on my IPhone instead of my tablet because my tablet wouldn’t power on yesterday. It seems that unless I go to YouTube’s site and search it, it gives me that black screen. I was watching George Carlin on stage on YouTube last night and got those videos, no problem !!I've deleted it and reloaded it Annie, see if it works now
My new tablet will be here on Monday, so, I’ll watch it then

Bit quiet at the moment but the Land Cress is coming on
This makes quite big leaves over winter, quite peppery like Water Cress.

That cress is very useful in winter salads! I'm not quite as enthusiastic though about today's picking of the greens. I have never seen so much slug poo in one picking - YUK. It took about four washes and a lot of close inspection to pass the test before blanching and freezing - talk about sticking to blankets 
It was like pulling dead midges out of a netted curtain. I need a cup of strong tea now.

Is Landcress the same as Mache ? I had Mache in Germany and loved it, it was sweet, but Landcress I've never knowingly eaten.That cress is very useful in winter salads!

I didn't know anything about mache so I looked it up. No, it is known here as lambs lettuce, another one that Zigs grows, but not like land cress. That tastes like watercress, which is peppery. We are able to get that from a tiny village nearby when it's in season.
land cress. 
water cress looks much the same, but is best when growing in a fast moving spring. 
lambs lettuce, has no peppery taste, it is much like any other lettuce, and part of the valerian family so Zigs just told me.
