I may know next to nothing about Chickens, but I DO know something about food. Although not my profession, I absolutely love cooking, just had a party on the Bank Holiday Weekend for friends and neighbours and made everything, pork pies, quiches, pickles, puds, Pates, Loads of things, I have also done gourmet nights at my local pub for 40 people and do dinner parties for people at their own homes. Not bragging, just love to do it, I would love to Work for Ramsey or some such and get 3 Michelin stars for myself!! English and French my faves but do stuff from all around the World, I am taken over by cook books!

Any help needed, ask away and I will try and help. This is Peter not Jackie, she sits back and eats it all!! snorting

Ive been told if you put banana peels under your green tomatoes its supposed to help ripen tomatoes.
haven't tried it my self may be you could give it a go and let me no if it works.

I will not ZIP it Evil or Very Mad

If you put bananas in with any other fruit, it gives off a chemical which helps the ripening process. I've also heard that, leaving some ripe tomatoes on the bush helps the others to catch on Wink
