Yvette Cooper's bill yesterday, which won by a single vote and would require the prime minister to seek an extension from Europe, was a new bill and is now going through the Lords. A handful of brexiteer lords have scheduled amendments to the bill in order to allow them to speak and require them to vote, thereby delaying if not filibustering progress on the bill.

How hard is it to grow veg in your back garden? Not because of Brexit (It's too late to start thinking about that), but I have a spare section in my garden that's growing nothing but weeds.

I have thought about veg (and herbs?) before, but I don't want to get myself into something that'll suck up a huge amount of my time.

It depends on where you live. What you want to grow and how much you think a huge amount of time is.

Fairly easy afaik. Put old veg in ground, dig more veg up later. You can make a planter if your soil is bad.

Potatoes are the easiest.

My back yard runs east-west and only has a thin strip of sunlight running along the fence though. :(

I've considered a vertical garden for the fence itself. The other wall is one of those huge factory walls.

Allotments are enormously harder than gardens in my experience, as adjacent allotment holders will run wailing to the management at the first sight of a weed on yours. :mad:

Seconding fruit suggestion, and above all Jerusalem artichokes, which require no care beyond stopping them take over your garden. Most other veg way cheaper than growing your own.

depends on the veg, you can choose the difficulty level yourself pretty much. also depends on sun and wind conditions of course

If you're looking for something to plant and forget, get yourself some currants or gooseberries. They require basically nothing and make tasty stuff happen

Peas and green beans give the best effort/taste ratio, IMO. Tomatoes out of a growbag are pretty good too.

So they need a lot of sun? The patch is partly shadowed by my fence, for a good part of the day, though there are plenty of flowers (and weeds) that are growing by that fence.

lol, I did consider that. It'd be much easier if the sun was due north because then the high wall would be the bit getting the sun, but I can't change that one.

Vertical garden is the easiest way and I should start hoarding pop bottles.

It's amazing that May filled a bunch of ministerial vacancies today, and yet still hasn't got anyone to be disabilities minister. Presumably because they all know full well how hard the disabled are getting hosed by their own policies and none of them want to carry the can for it.

I always wondered why there weren't more solar/solar-thermal powered air conditioners. That's the kind of thing that you only really need to work when it's hot and sunny.

Maybe Tories actually don't think the disabled exist, rather than pretend like they don't.

My first exposure to James O'Brien was for the same funny videos of idiot leavers getting flustered and I thought it was great but literally everything else he does and says is awful.

I have friends and colleagues I disagree with politically (not many, mind, because I don't associate with horrible people in general).

None of them are fascists and I would not continue to be friends, family, or colleagues with a fascist.

Nigel Farage is a fascist, and LBC givign him a platform automatically makes them complicit.
