Life / Polish plantlife and similar flora where you live. [81]

I think black cherries are sweeter than the red ones , i prefer the black ones myself , they taste just like the ones in a black cherry yoghurt , i try to eat as many as i can before the birds get all the best ones...

The gardening books i have are..... Peter seabrooks book of the garden.. The complete book of successful gardening by David carr and Hg witham fogg ( theres a name ) and .. Gardening for everyone by Emma callery...

I too am a townie , so i am having to learn the country life as i go along , sometimes the hard way....

Life / Polish plantlife and similar flora where you live. [81]

I don,t think its a boring thread at all , well not for those of us with gardens we care about....

I too have apple trees , five of them actually , that produce enough apples to feed the whole village.. I must get organised this year to remove all the apples and store them properly so i can eat them through the winter and find a way to distribute the rest to people that don,t have any...

I also have a pear tree , three black cherry trees , and like you Sean a grape vine , a huge thing that i need to move as the barn its attatched to is falling down , i did wonder when was the best time to move it....

I am not much of a garden expert , but i love being in the garden and doing stuff , mostly with the help of various garden books...

Does anyone know the Polish name for the budlia bush , as i would like a few of them to attract butterflies to the garden....

Travel / Mushroom picking in spring in Poland? [35]

Of course you can...its perfectly legal....I suppose what you mean is , are there any to be found in the spring...? Autumn is the traditional time for hunting them , and i am not sure if you can find them in the spring , but hang around , one of our Polish country experts will give you the information....

History / POLISH MEMORIES OF CHERNOBYL...April 26th 1986 [32]

Is there a group in Poland that organizes a trip to go to Chernobyl? I've been trying to do this for some time now but I always get side tracked.

If there isn,t perhaps i could organise one....? I have friends over there that could act as guides and whatever.... Have a look at the website created by Elena filatova , she has some amazing pictures and stories about Chernobyl.... elenafilatova.com

China Syndrome.
What does that actually mean.

It means the molten radioactive mess melts its way into the ground...and keeps going...it contaminates the ground water , and causes an even bigger disaster....I think its called the China syndrome because somebody said it could in theory melt its way to China...

History / POLISH MEMORIES OF CHERNOBYL...April 26th 1986 [32]

Today is the anniversary of the worlds worst nuclear accident , the explosion in the reactor at Chernobyl nuclear power station....

It was this accident that first brought me to Poland in 1997 , on route to Belarus to take aid to the children dying from this disaster , what i saw there will live in my memory forever , no words can ever describe the sadness of a generation so devastated...

Later i went into the dead zone , the area deemed to dangerous for people ever to live there , to see whole towns , villages completly deserted , homes that can never be returned to....

When i first moved to Poland i met a girl called Aneta , a teacher , who was only a child when Chernobyl made its mark on the world , she remembers being taken from school to some clinic where she was made to drink some kind of medicine...

None of the Polish children understood what was going on , and many parents were afraid , but not exactly sure what of.....

What are your memories of that day in 1986 when nuclear power showed what it can do if you are not carefull with it..?????????

Travel / A Night or Day In GDANSK....how to spend the time?.. [9]

may enjoy crowd, noise and the rush.

I don,t mind a bit of noise and a crowd for a few hours , it will make a change from my quiet farm where i sometimes do not see any people for days....

Life / Should Poles be Polish? [44]

I have nothing against Polish people , in fact i like them , but i did object to paying the Pole tax when i didn,t have any Poles living at my house......

A few years later i had eight of them sharing my house , but by then the Pole tax had been scrapped.....how silly is that....?

I read on thenews.pl that more and more teenagers are turning to prostitution in order to fund buying designer clothes , concert tickets , and mobile phones , as they see this as essential to earn respect from their friends....

This area of Leeds is known to have a drug problem , street muggings are a bit popular , and there has been a bit of gun crime among dealers , somebody got shot a short while back in this area...A few years back they put up camera,s all over the place , so maybe they can get some evidence from these....as i said its not a place i would want to live....
