  3. tied a few collies up this aft as they are getting a heart, our extra 1/2 plot has been plucked of most of the weeds then fluffed, cabbages don't look to bad really (i think) also washed the wifes lettuce http://s575.photobucket.com/user/jackoleeds/media/jacks3028_zps53d8e269.jpg.html?sort=3&o=7
  4. looking good tel, never mind about the size as all the rest will be wasted as for the comfrey, is the lump of concrete to hold it down? have you tried putting it in a pillow case and tieing it to the tub, then you can give the water ( stale ) a shake to liven it up

  7. good going tel i've pulled all our peas but got quite a few so we are happy, did you have any caterpillars in the pods? we did, not that many though and apparently they are on the flower before they pod now i know for next year No I didn't notice any caterpillars but they were covered in netting. That scaffold netting was the best thing I have bought. Should get a few years out of it too. I wouldn't fancy my chances other wise. It seems to keep every thing out and so far I have only found one caterpillar under it in the whole plot. It cost me 60 quid for 2 x 50 metre by 2 me
  8. ffs dog in the vets in the morning, silly little twat tried jumping on the kids trampoline, next minute a almighty yelp and he couldn't move his back legs, phone the emergency vets and said to leave him a few hours as it could be a trapped nerve? he's walking now but very cagey and his back is arched all the time, ffs, should be cheap!!!! not,

Very artistic carrots you have there they still got grated Tel for the coleslaw jj were they grown in recently manured soil or was the soil stoney or heavy all possible causes of forked carrots.?i grow them in big containers were you can mix compost and sharp sand and have plenty drainage. darb they were grown in a 3x2 wooden box 3ft deep filled with riddled ash and soil, i have some more in another place 2 scaffold battens deep and dug deeper and that was riddled also, but i did put a mixture of sand in this, i also have parsnips in this bed, so we shall see, the carrots
