it goes well with tuna and soy, or with lamb. Her son was saying that it's a waterside plant so just don't bung it under the hedge or it won't grow properly. Guess where I bunged mine Rolling Eyes

As I'm not too keen on sweet wines ... only added 4lbs sugar ... how dry will that make it ... and does reducing the sugar effect the fermintation process? Have still only used the 1/2 tsp that Dell said ????? Confused
