??? I have only mentioned a few different types of veg. Are you growing some types from seed and others from e.g crowns as is the case with asparagus?

That pretty much ties in with what I was thinking, anything goes, a free-for-all

My answer to it is in random post #150. I won't repost it back in this thread again.


Does this mean the same as idź sobie?

Can't get it. It's not going to be locations indoors of where you've planted them. Also there's only one circle and the rest are squares.

I'd agree with that.


I'd like to know where those Brits are then because I've never heard a single British person use that word in the UK. It just wouldn't be used over here.

A while back a Polish friend of mine who's been in the UK for 15 years and speaks good English was showing me a cooking video of a couple of Australian guys making a stir-fry dish. She thought they were Irish..........which I found staggering considering that at one time she used to work in a bar that was run by an Irish couple...........


I listened to her speaking and to me it's very obvious she's spent time in the US. She has a British accent but there's a strong American twang in there, but then her father is American so she may have picked that up from him before moving to the States.

You're sowing them indoors ready for transplanting when the weather warms up?

Yep, I made a mistake there.


Exactly!

A gay man.

I have Lenka to thank for this one as I was reading her post in one of the Polish language threads.

It has arms or legs

Large area the veg is to be planted in?


Yes, I know. If the numbers correspond to size of plot/area and not seeds then 100-106 are medium size plots? The remaining numbers are for larger areas and taller veg?


Vaguely rings a bell.........

USA, Canada / Censorship and violation of 1st Amendment in US [147]


I doubt this will change under Trump. While Musk is busy cancelling contracts within the US and worldwide, his seem to be doing very nicely indeed.........I think many Americans will be shocked that they're not going to be as better off as they thought they'd be.


The US imports more cars from Mexico, Canada, Korea and Japan than it does from the EU.

Trump is moaning that the EU doesn't import American cars but there's a good reason for that. With the exception of Tesla, the US mainly makes large SUV's and trucks. These are no good for European roads which are much smaller and narrower. Plus, they use loads of petrol which is more expensive in Europe.

I did wonder about those. There is only one circle though which corresponds to large amount of white kohlrabi. The squares appear to correspond to small amounts of white and yellow kohlrabi and tall leeks and celery.

I've just noticed at the top of the list in 'plots' 100-105, there are no visible circles/squares ( as top left bit of page isn't showing) but whatever veg the first line corresponds to it is of medium size as I can just make out średni?

I had forgotten about that but perhaps that's what it is. I had thought it was over the fallout of the boot/footprints idiom but maybe it goes back further.....either way the whole thing just seems petty to me.


Refers to someone with a bland and boring personality? No strength of character?

There are some real arseholes on this forum but maf is not one of them. If he doesn't bother contributing I doubt others will, but if that's what you want...........

Yes I know but I was looking only at the ingredients I could see. I wasn't sure about the chicken broth either but I failed to spot the tripe :(
I only got the Silesian dumplings then!! Not so close after all.....

Well you won't if you've blocked him. I don't understand why you're doing this. Maf is one of the most reasonable posters on this forum and one of the very few who contributes to this thread. Surely you want people to contribute?

Looks like Kluski Śląskie, Rosół, and Fasolka po bretońsku?

A planting list with the numbers serving as locations of the various patches/areas you've planted veg? Your writing is really hard to read but I can make out that you planted
leek and asparagus on the 9/02 along with other stuff I can't read.

On 16/02 you planted a large amount of white kohlrabi, small amount of yellow kohlrabi, tall? leeks, small yellow kohlrabi and leeks, some celery? Can't read it all.

Enjoy life and what you have today because you can't take money or possessions with you when you die.

Genealogy / Want to find a person [777]


You would need to provide more details than that.

That name would be spelt Sławomir Roliński. Sławek is the diminutive.

To have a blatant disregard for the consequences of what comes after they are gone. The ensuing chaos if you like.


That's what I would use.


You can't take it with you?
