    Sean, mom way in tears laughing at the numerous bags of daffodils you bought by mistake. She reminded me that she needed about 2 meters of elastic for some pants and she bought 70 meters. Extra daffodils are way better than elastic band😂

    Never mind a shorter video at least we’ve seen you. Loved the nod to the advent calendar with your Yorkshire tea, RIP advent calendar. I thought no laughs today then, but the bulbs made me laugh. Loved your soup maker yesterday, looked amazing, perhaps a tutorial on how to use it before we purchase, that would be great. When you said Bristol thought you were back on your travels again to sunnier climbs. Look after that back when lifting that heavy box of bulbs. Loved the idea of planting some on the hills. See you tomorrow please even with a short video. Thank you🐞

    In my retirement village , we have porcupines ( protected species) that eat bulbs first and then other root vegetables. Now there is a PSB ( porcupine salad bar 😊) down at the river to discourage them from our gardens…. Had to laugh at your wonderful shop of 200 daffodils ( maybe you were reading poetry, when you bought them “ I wondered lonely as a cloud…” etc )😁 I do hope your back is better son- it’s so debilitating…

    Hi Sean. I vaguely remember you saying that you were going to buy more daffodil bulbs, to plant in drifts, just off of the main paths up on the mountain when you couldn't find the ones that you planted years ago, so that everyone who walks the mountain can enjoy them. 😊

    Hiya Sean, I get you wanting to reduce potato consumption. I also find my shape changing with age (though ROUND is a shape, so technically I'm still "in shape" ).
    Something I do, which you may actually like, is substitute radishes for potatoes in stews and around roasts. NO, they aren't flour BUT they lose all sharpness and are extremely mild + slow cooked in a liquid or slow roasted in the oven they take on all the lovely flavours you care to add. I often put them around a roasting chicken, with onions and garlic and sage or savory. They make a great, super low carb side that tastes really good. I swear, it's worth a try no?
    Just remember, low and slow, let them brown in a bit of butter until very tender. Outstanding veg. Works with daikon radishes too!

    Hi Sean, Jacks was just a brand name Tesco came up with to call a discount arm of their portfolio they were trialling, similar to what my old firm Somerfield did back in the 90s with the discount brand Food Giant. It was supposed to be themed after American style grocery stores, , pile it high, sell it cheap Tesco introduced a small range of products under the Jacks brand too, ie your Brown sauce.

    • @AnimaMundi641

      @AnimaMundi641 when I was at Gateways / Somerfield they turned 28 of their biggest underperforming stores in to Food Giant, a puke it high discount chain, was really fun times, but then they bought Kwik Save and it went tits up from there. They also trialled 2 other branding Solo (budget) and David Greg (Higher end) which both failed. Food Giant was basically doing what Aldi and Lidl s are doing now, cheaper than the main supermarkets, had bakery and everything else including non food,

  • @maryannjordan8143
    @maryannjordan8143 4 часа назад +1

    I almost always order too many bulbs, but not quite that many, I ordered loads of stripes tulips to put in my dads yard, and found out that he only wanted solid red and white ones, so I ordered some of what he wanted and planted them, and planted the others by the window of a care home in my neighborhood. Hopefully they will brighten someone’s day but in the end I ended up planting about three hundred bulbs this fall. I planted a lot of small cupped daffodils this year so we will see how it goes this spring

  • @homesteadlady3acrehomestead
    @homesteadlady3acrehomestead 8 часов назад +1

    I was giggling as you revealed how many packs of bulbs you purchased. It will be lovely to see them planted and blooming. Maybe put a journal by your computer and jog down notes at 3 a.m. of plans and purchases. I have heard of sleep walking, but this is a first on sleep shopping, 🤣🤣😂

    Tea, a credit card and late night shopping tv... never a good combination! Lol... Love aromatic bulbs though. My next flower garden will be primarily aromatics even if it is a little over the top. Just love the aroma in the air. I actually just started a 2 year back pain study with the Veterans Administration (Veterans health care in the US). The study is supposed to go over 6 years but my part will be over 2 years and focuses on chronic lower back pain especially in military veterans, so I am excited to learn some new ways to get over my issues!

Tedious but it works when my degenerative disc disease kicks in. Take care. Blessings to Wales, from New South Wales, Australia. Summer solstice is our longest day, but the real heat starts then.

  • @RandomGreymane
    @RandomGreymane 11 часов назад +3

    I have similar 3 am shopping habits at times. XD
    You could always "guerilla garden" and randomly plant bulbs in yards around the village. Or pick a mountain path and plant a bulb every 50 yards for a bit of color.
    I would do something weird personally, like plant them next to headstones when the groundskeeper isn't looking. No reason for graveyards to always be dour and gray.
    Donate some to a class of young gardeners to grow at home? Plenty of uses.
    Also, I had to hustle and juggle to pick up my medications and groceries as my car has expired tags. Lots of standing in the cold waiting for Uber. So yes I agree with canceling the day.

    @Jane_and_Meg 7 часов назад +1

    Hi Sean, re the online store you purchased your video camera from, they have a money back guarantee, so if you don't get the item, you click on the purchase and click "not received" and this opens a case with said store. The seller then has three days to respond and if you've requested it offer you a full refund. If you also paid through the Pal of Pay you can get your money back that way too If all else fails by opening a case which if you recall I had to do for a different item but not through that online store! The first method is quicker and easier tho!
    Oh you did make me laugh re all the Daffs it was like something out of Mary Poppins with her bag! 😅 Yep I agree with what someone else said re planting them on the mountain.
    Hope your back gets better soon. Take care..🙂

They were very good and when stored properly lasted most of the year. No main crop. Wish I could remember the names (25 years ago now) Enjoy Bristol!!
