This French food consists of a casserole dish of potatoes layered with crème fraîche and Gruyère cheese, and then filled up about halfway with milk. Bake it in the oven and the potatoes become rich and flavorful, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604120044178269166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-18097069125512711062008-09-30T01:11:00.000-04:002008-09-30T01:11:00.000-04:00Those are interesting potatoes.

It also does a great job of getting rid of Woodlice/Sowbugs too. There are many products out there but whichever one you choose check that the active ingredient is Iron Phosphate which is good for the soil too so it's a win-win situation. Avoid any which contain Metaledehyde which is a poison.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593315653021649411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-60721517665913659492008-09-28T00:53:00.000-04:002008-09-28T00:53:00.000-04:00qSorry your harvests are slowing down.
