New TVR still under wraps! (Vol. 3)
Discussion
This threads hilarious.
I must admit I feel way behind the curve on this one as I think home grown produce might be the way forward if you want regular food at affordable rates.
A polly tunnel. That sounds industrial.
My neighbour grows lots of stuff so interested in any advice on bug control.
At last this thread has meaning

I'm impressed... You obviously like Strawberries (and hate birds , what's in the cage, cherries ? )... The previous owners of my house had a koi carp pond(which they filled in when their dog drowned in it 
) ... I use it as a strawberry bed and feed all my neighbours with strawberries for a month when I get a glut.

My carer thinks a pollytunnel is where you keep parrots
The old ones are always good.
Hope you won't mind, if we just briefly leave the main gardening topic.

Good to see that TVR stiil have (LE) Griffiths available.
That webpage suggests making a telephone call, to talk about placing a deposit.
Our dog has eaten my phone, so would someone help by speaking to TVR on the number shown and ask when I would get my car, if I placed a deposit today?
I do hope that I am not too far along the queue.
Mention that I have only just looked at the website, the car is so exciting and I am looking forward to my new TVR Griffith Launch Edition.

Yep, in the fruit cage are several Currant plants, 3 Cherry trees and a Walnut tree , what's in the cage, cherries ? )... The previous owners of my house had a koi carp pond(which they filled in when their dog drowned in it ) ... I use it as a strawberry bed and feed all my neighbours with strawberries for a month when I get a glut.So last year was the first attempt with the strawberries, and this year hoping to learn from mistakes - such as
- Better drainage in the bags (they were a bit mossy toward the end of the season)
- Plant all the new rooting runner shoots in propagating trays
- And most importantly, once the strawberry plant has finished fruiting, remove the plant, and put one of the new plants from the propagator in its place
We gave a lot away to neighbours last year
On a car related note, series 2 of Clarkson's farm, he purchased some Polytunnels from the same company as the one we got ours from, First Tunnels

Ten years ago, in 2013, I organised two tunnel runs in London for TVR owners.

Do the collective think that there might be interest in 2023 in poly tunnel runs for TVR owners?
There would seem to be a place for them in Norfolkshire.....

Any more of those tunnel run pics? I'm sure my Chimaera was involved with a previous, previous and possibly previous owner.|https://thumbsnap.com/qjjmBKkH[/url]Do the collective think that there might be interest in 2023 in poly tunnel runs for TVR owners?

Still none the wiser, the 3 definitions I found....
1) Suffolk dialect) – Barnabee, Burnabee, the Bishop-that-burneth, and bishy bishy barnabee. The etymology is unclear, but it may be from St. Barnabas's
2) short for bishounen, which literally means beautiful boy or pretty boy in japanese. usually describing a guy who has effiminate features as well as a slight build.
not necessarily a negative or positive word, its all in context.
3) Using two hands to vigorously shake a womans breast
Emma really wants the bishop to bishy her.
