In The Garden
J
uly is the month where a little bit of everything in the plant world is either on its way out (yellowy straggly leaves from spring bulbs and Violas), in full flower looking at its peak (Roses, Lavender & Honeysuckle), or on its way in (Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, maturing fruits). To keep on top of the garden tasks and have time to relax and enjoy your special spot of paradise try and do the following:-
In The Garden Regularly deadhead roses, summer bedding plants and hanging basket plants. This will keep them looking at their best and promote more flowers. Tie in and support any plants that are leaning over towards the sun or weighed
down by rainwater. These can include sedums, sunflowers, dahlias, rambling and climbing roses. Watering too much as well as watering too little can be just as damaging so ensure your plants are getting the right amount. If you have homemade compost that is ready to use, mulch plants after watering to hold in moisture. This also acts as a weed suppressor. Make your own quick organic nettle plant tonic to give plants a dose of nitrogen which promotes healthy leafy growth. Chop nettles, place in bucket with pebbles to keep nettles from floating, fill with water, leave for 3/4 weeks and use diluted one part concentrate to ten parts water. The

No Job Too Big Or Too Small
See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers mixture gets a bit smelly so don’t put it too near the house! Chop the leaves of nettles and put them onto the compost heap to give it a nitrogen rich boost. Hoe around vegetable plants to keep weeds down before they become bigger than the plant and take all the nutrients.
The Lawn New lawns need to be watered if the weather is dry as they need to establish in the first year. Older lawns will benefit from a summer feed to keep them looking at their best. A general all round feed is best but if you have to treat for moss or weed then use a combined feed and killer. Unfortunately weedkiller kills wildflowers too so if you want daisies in your lawn, think again! Add small amounts of lawn clippings to the compost heap and use to mulch around plants in very dry weather to help with moisture loss.
The Greenhouse Tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and aubergines all need to be fed with a high potash solution at weekly/fortnightly intervals and the soil kept moist but not sodden at all times. Temperatures rocket in the greenhouse during July so many gardeners use a white shading paint on the glass that gets the most sun and this is easily wiped off in the autumn. Damping down is needed in the greenhouse on most hot days to keep humidity levels up. When you have finished watering the plants walk backwards towards the door and douse down the floor with the hose or watering can. Remove side shoots of tomato plants above leaf axils to encourage taller stronger plant growth. Cuttings of hydrangeas, cotoneasters, fuchsias and pelargoniums can be taken in July as the warmer weather will encourage vigorous root growth and give new plants a good head start before winter.

Healthy Eating VEGETARIAN BAKED POTATO
P
otatoes are one of the best sources of starch, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. 100g provides 70 calories. They have hardly any fat (just 0.1g per 100g) and no cholesterol; they are also high in fibre so good for conditions such as constipation (you must eat the skin as well). The usual fillings for baked potatoes are butter, cheese, tuna mayonnaise etc which increase the fat content and make them less healthy. This recipe contains peppers, onions, garlic and tomatoes, which are all low in fat and full of nutrients. Olive oil is used instead of then. When they are soft, turn the heat up butter or margarine as it contains vitamins a bit and cook till slightly browned. Add and can help lower cholesterol. tomatoes and paprika and cook for another Recipe (serves 2) 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, salt and 2 good sized baking potatoes, 1 red and one pepper and stir.

Recipe
EASY CHOCOLATE CAKE Homemade chocolate cake is one of the nicest cakes you can make. In this cake all you have is butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate.
EQUIPMENT - Two 8-inch/20cm, loose-bottomed if possible, cake tins. Grease each tin with butter on the bottom and sides then add a little flour, tapping it around so it covers all the butter. This stops the cake from sticking. - Electric mixer - Wire rack
INGREDIENTS For the cake:
225g/8oz butter 225g/8oz caster sugar 4 eggs 200g/7oz self-raising flour 25g/1oz cocoa powder 100g dark chocolate (70%), melted For the buttercream: 175g/6oz butter, softened 340g/12oz icing sugar 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 100g dark chocolate (70%), melted A splash of milk Maltesers
METHOD Pre-heat your oven to 160°C fan. Using an electric mixer combine

See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers
the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the four eggs along with a spoonful of the flour/cocoa powder (to stop the mixture from splitting). Mix. Add the rest of the flour/cocoa powder and mix well. Melt the dark chocolate then pour into the cake batter while the mixer is still going round. Once thoroughly combined, divide equally between the two greased cake tins. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Test if cooked through by pressing the sponge lightly. If it springs back it is cooked. You can also test using a metal skewer. If it comes out clean it is cooked. If it isn’t done bake for a few more minutes. Allow to cool in the tin a little then tip out onto a wire rack. To make the buttercream – in the electric mixer combine the soft butter with the icing sugar. Add the cocoa powder and melted chocolate along with a splash of milk. Mix well for a few minutes. Once the sponge has cooled spread the buttercream over one half. Then place the other half on the top. Spread the rest of the buttercream over the top and the sides. Decorate with maltesers if desired.

he likes of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle have long been hailed as great philosophers, but what exactly is ‘philosophy?’ Well, the concept originated from the Greek word Philosophia, which literally means “love of wisdom” and is considered the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters like existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. But do we still have great philosophers? Yes, of course we do, and to prove it we’ve found some wonderful modern examples from the most unlikely sources. We’ve also included some from a time when philosophy was considered an art. If this isn’t philosophy we don’t know what is! In my many years I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a government. John Adams. If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed. Mark Twain. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. Winston Churchill. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. George Bernard Shaw.
Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton. Giving money & power to government is like giving whiskey & car keys to teenage boys. P.J. O’Rourke, Civil Libertarian. I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. Will Rogers. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of government. But then, I repeat myself. Mark Twain. The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. Ronald Reagan. The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. Mark Twain. What this country needs is more unemployed politicians. Edward Langley, Artist. A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have. Thomas Jefferson. We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Aesop. The only reason they say ‘Women and children first’ is to test the strength of the lifeboats. Joan Rivers. When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife. Prince Philip.

The best cure for Sea Sickness is to sit under a tree. Spike Milligan. Kill one man and you’re a murderer, kill a million and you’re a conqueror. Jean Rostand. Having more money doesn’t make you happier. I have 50 million dollars but I was just as happy as when I only had 48 million. Arnold Schwarzenegger. We are here on earth to do good unto others. What the others are here for, I have no idea. WH Auden. If life were fair, Elvis would still be alive today and all the impersonators would be dead. Johnny Carson. Hollywood must be the only place on earth where you can be fired by a man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a baseball cap. Steve Martin. Home cooking. Where many a man thinks his wife is. Jimmy Durante. The first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone. George Roberts. I have kleptomania, but when it gets bad, I take something for it. Robert Benchley.

Football - The ‘Boro
IT’S IN THE BALANCE...
I
’m writing this after watching the televised horror show that saw Swansea City completely dominate the game and score three goals against us for the third time in a row. Yet thinking back to the Friday night before that game it seemed that the three or four months of lockdown had somehow diminished the threat of imminent relegation, even though it had hung over ‘Boro until the last gasp win at Charlton took us above the bottom three. I think most of us thought there was a strong possibility that the season would end there and we would be saved. Sadly, the complacency that gave us was completely shattered by the performance against Swansea. I have to admit I was one of the many who was dubious when I saw the team selection, though one immediate query was answered when it was announced that Harold Moukoudi was ill and couldn’t play. But leaving Patrick Roberts out of the starting line up was a bit of a shock because in his brief ‘Boro performances to date he had looked head and shoulders above the rest and had at last provided a degree of midfield creativity that we’ve lacked for a long time. Using the excuse that he couldn’t guarantee his fitness
doesn’t really work because nor could anybody else and was made even less convincing when his introduction at half time improved the look of the team. Perhaps the most puzzling feature of team selection, however, involves Ravel Morrison, who - when his loan signing was announced – was supposed to be a man who could bring ‘something different to the team.’ I can’t see how we will ever find out the truth of that statement because it seems no matter how badly the team is performing he is never given the chance to prove it. In which case, why was he signed in the first place? The Daniel Ayala situation hasn’t helped either, and the fact that he was still injured at the time of the Swansea game was an irrelevance because his determination to leave meant he wasn’t going to play anyway. I’m afraid his attitude will now forever stay in the heads of ‘Boro fans and he will join the ranks of former ‘Boro players who the Riverside faithful will never forgive. To be fair, though, many of us were never completely convinced and he was always considered an accident waiting to happen. I refer you back to the horrendous moment at Wembley when he gifted Norwich the lead that ensured they went into the Premiership instead of us as

three months I find cheerfulness a hard commodity to conjure up. It’s been awful for everybody and the whole coronavirus story has perhaps put a lot of things into perspective. It makes you wonder if football is really relevant in the light of so many lives being lost. To most of us, though, it certainly is important and let’s be honest, when it’s all over we’ll all still go to the Riverside hoping to see good quality football and a winning ‘Boro team. I feel there has to be a lot of improvement in the next three weeks. We certainly need to win at least four games out of the remaining fixtures to guarantee safety but on the strength of the Swansea game it’s difficult to see where they are going to come from. We can only live in hope, but in the meantime continue to live safely so that when that day comes we can once again enjoy the spectacle of live football with real crowds.

a perfect example. I’m afraid he was a bit like the little girl with a curl – when he was good, he was very, very good, but when he was bad he was horrid! So what happens now? At the time of writing we are still marginally outside the bottom three thanks to goal difference. The three conceded against Swansea didn’t do much good in that direction, of course, and now we face an away trip to fellow strugglers Stoke in what can only be considered the definitive ‘six pointer.’ That they have been as inept as us does offer some sort of hope but I’m certainly not banking on a result. Whether it’s a good thing or not, our last seven games after that don’t feature any of the top ten sides so we should at least have some sort of chance. Perform as we did against Swansea, however, and that will also evaporate. At this stage I would normally look for reasons to be cheerful but after the last
