Put the mixture into the baking cases and press down firmly with the fingers. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C for 17 minutes and leave in oven to cool down. Transport these Oatmeal Fruit Crunch in icecream cartons. For less sticky and more crunchy cakes; use Demerara Sugar instead of Molasses Sugar and reduce cooking time to 15 minutes. |

Library Pages
|
The Garden Style chosen at the beginning defines what a garden should look like. Following this choice of Garden Style, then:-
Plant Association shows which plant combinations give pleasing flower or foliage colour combinations, then Plant Type gives growing conditions of a family of plants - ie Primulas - with lists of primulas with the same flower colour, foliage colour or height and where is suitable for those plants, followed by Plant Species gives data about a family of plants in a restricted format - ie without lists - as the lowest level of useful information (unless you are prepared to read the text in a whole book each time you want to use this particular species of plant).
Gardening gives general information on how to garden for the whole garden. Garden Cultivation gives specific information on veg, fruit, lawn, pond, etc. Garden Pests details garden pests/diseases and their control.
Practical Projects gives details on how to construct hard landscaping. |
