When she cooked brussels she would would put the boiled buttons in the colander and press the water out with a saucer. They ended up resembling a green paste!Frugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-22856854592453458192014-06-26T08:49:11.750+01:002014-06-26T08:49:11.750+01:00We could deliver to Leicestershire, but probably w...We could deliver to Leicestershire, but probably wouldn't be close enough to give you ongoing ( and occasionally frequent) support. If you google Leicestershire Beekeeping Association they will probably be able to tell you who is nearby to mentor you. They would also give you an idea of a fair cost and may even have some to sell. We are considering selling bees for £120, with the hives costing out at around £200 depending on how much "kit" people want ...types of quilt, floor etc. We will be finalising our costs soon.Frugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-85254178951910245902014-06-25T12:43:41.517+01:002014-06-25T12:43:41.517+01:00I agree about freezing vegs.

How much would the 'package' be? and would you deliver to Leicestershire? (I'm about five miles from junction 22 on M1, I assume you would get on M1 at junction 26?).<br />Perhaps I'm being over ambitious, especially as I have never looked after bees!<br />Great to have the blogger reading full list back isn't it?Sandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.com
