In The Garden
S
weep your patio areas regularly and treat any small weeds with a systemic weed killer as they germinate. Hoe weeds from gravel areas and treat with a residual weed killer to prevent more weed seeds from germinating. Damp down the floor of your greenhouse after you have watered in the morning. This keeps the humidity high but also lowers the temperature during hot weather. Clean out your water butts if they have been emptied, to remove sludge and algae in the bottom. Patio and Container Gardening Keep an eye out for ants setting up home in the base of planted containers and treat accordingly to stop them undermining roots so that the plants dry out from the base. Treat all of your permanent container plantings with a biological control for Vine Weevil larvae. They can devastate plants in pots if not kept in check. Round up any empty containers and give them a scrub out in preparation for autumn and winter bedding plants. Bulbs and Perennials Remove side buds from Dahlias as they develop to get a single, larger flower for Page 22
cutting. Continue to cut down stems on perennials as they finish flowering. Chop these up and add to your compost heaps. Divide summer flowering perennials as they finish flowering. Dig up the clumps and replant some of the younger, more vigorous growth. Cut Oriental Poppies and Border Geraniums to the ground, leaves and all, after they have flowered. Mulch around the crowns and water well. Many of the Geraniums will flower again in autumn. Trees and Shrubs Summer prune shrubs by removing two thirds of the long, upright growths that have developed since the spring. Feed Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Pieris and Camellias with a suitable granular fertilizer such as Vitax Conifer and Shrub. Water this in well and make sure that these plants do not go short of water now, whilst they are forming next year’s flower buds. Trim Lavender bushes after flowering to remove the dead flower spikes. Summer prune Wisteria by taking any long, unwanted growths back to five or six leaf buds. Trim hedges that are becoming untidy – the final cut can be done in early autumn. August 2020 | Local Answer | Tel: 01642 296513

Recipe
CORNFLAKE JAM TART INGREDIENTS Pastry: 175g plain flour 85g butter (cold and cubed) 1 tbsp caster sugar 2 medium egg yolks 2 tbsp water (room temperature) Filling: 150g raspberry jam 75g butter 25g golden caster sugar 2 tbsp golden syrup 125g cornflakes METHOD Start with the pastry – place the flour Page 26
and butter in a bowl, and use your (clean) fingers to rub together until the mixture resemble bread crumbs. Mix in the sugar with a spoon. Add 1 egg yolk and a tablespoon of water, and mix it in using a knife in a chopping motion. Add the other yolk and tablespoon of water and mix it in with a knife again. Once it starts to come together, use your hands to bring the dough into a ball. Wrap in cling-film and place in the fridge for an hour. Preheat the oven to 200c and generously grease a tart tin (A removable base is recommended, as you will see in a minute). Take the dough from the fridge and place in the middle of the tart base.

Roll outwards with a floured rollingpin so that it is large enough to line your tart tin (but not too thick). Try not to over work the pastry too much as it will affect the bake. Once it is rolled out, fold the edges inwards, and carefully place the base into the outer part of the tin (see below). Unfold the edges and gently push into the sides of the tin. Leave any excess pastry on for now. Line the pastry case with some greaseproof paper, fill with baking beans (or rice if you do not have any) and bake for 10 minutes. Take out from the oven and remove the greaseproof paper and baking beans. Gently ‘scrape’ off the excess edge with a sharp knife, and prick the base of the tart all over with a fork. Place back in the oven and cook for Call: 01642 296513

12 to 15 minutes, or until it is a nice pale brown colour and no longer moist. Lower the oven to 180c and start on the filling. Heat the jam lightly in a saucepan until it is runny, and spread over the base of the tart. Melt the butter, golden syrup and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat; once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the cornflakes. Spread evenly over the jam, then place in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes, or until the cornflakes turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 20 minutes before tucking in, as this will allow the cornflake topping to firm up slightly. This is great served hot with custard, cold with cream, or completely on its own. Enjoy!

Humour A FEW FUNNY TALES FROM THE ANNUAL TRIPS
W
e all love our summer holidays in the sun when we get the chance, but there’s always a funny story or two that emanate from the trips to Butlin’s, Magaluf, Benidorm or wherever your holiday takes you. We’ve managed to collate a few for your amusement. We still hope, however, that you will be able to enjoy a holiday this year, even if none of these apply to you! When Bill arrived back from his holiday his work colleague Jim was keen to know how he had enjoyed it. ‘How did you find the weather?’ he asked. ‘Well,’ said Bill, ‘I just went outside and there it was!’ A lady was taking her first ever flight to go on holiday and the air hostess was giving the usual safety demonstration. It being a long distance flight emergency parachutes were provided and after explaining how to put them on and use them she was asked by the first time flyer “If our chute doesn’t open, and the reserve doesn’t open, how long do we have until we hit the ground?” The hostess looked at her and with a perfectly deadpan expression answered, “The rest of your life.” The youth of today will never know what it felt like to have to pay a
Page 28
fortune then wait for about three days to eventually find out that all the photographs you took on your holidays really sucked! Friends of ours went on holiday recently and returned to the hotel where they’d spent their wedding night. ‘Did you enjoy it?’ I asked. ‘Not really, said the husband, ‘this time it was me who stayed in the bathroom and cried.’ We went to Blackpool this year and a van on the promenade had ‘Hot Dogs at Popular Prices’ emblazoned across the front. I was quite hungry so I bought one and was asked for five pounds. ‘What?’ I shouted at the stall holder, ‘your sign says ‘popular prices.’ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘I like them’ .... It was his first night on holiday and after drinking heavily at the local bar the drunken man headed off to his hotel and went up to his suite. Several minutes later, the drunk staggers back to the reception desk and demands his room be changed. “But sir,” said the clerk, “you have the best room in the hotel.” “I insist on another room!!!” said the drunk. “Very good, sir. I’ll change you from 502 to 525. Would you mind telling me why you don’t like 502?” asked the clerk. “Well, for one thing,” said the drunk, “it’s on fire.” August 2020 | Local Answer | Tel: 01642 296513

A man arrived at a seaside hotel where he had made a reservation rather late at night. All the lights were out, so he knocked on the door. After a long time a light appeared in an upstairs window and a woman called out, “Who are you? What do you want?” “I’m staying here!” said the man. “Please yourself,” she retorted, and slammed the window shut! A Scotsman was having a tough time lugging his lumpy, oversized travel bag onto the plane. Helped by a flight attendant, he finally managed to stuff it in the overhead bin. “Do you always carry such heavy luggage?” she sighed. “Never again,” the man said. “Next time, I’m riding in the bag, and my wife can buy the ticket!” A tourist was being led through
the swamps of Florida. “Is it true,” he asked, “that an alligator won’t attack you if you carry a flashlight?” “That depends,” replied the guide, “on how fast you carry the flashlight.” Two tourists were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town’s name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the employee, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?” The girl leaned over the counter and said, “Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing.”
