    very nice tc a credit ! was going to take a few pics of some of mine this morning but surprise surprise its raining again so had a go indoors " up to my usual cr*p standard of pics " left to right every day user and abuser hazel knob stick for dog walking "occasional rabbits just in reach" triggers broom !!!!! wifes stick wildfowling stick "extra length for testing the depth of gutters" stalking stick "just above eye height for steadying the rifle " if we get a bit of sun ill take some better pics just making a wading staff for flyfishing !

    i think thats why hazel is so popular as a stick tc theres so much variation you can match it to anything for a head !

    dont think its a case of what looks best cushty more a case of tradition !but the main thing is to make something YOU LIKE then you will use it ! sometimes if you dont try things you will never know

    forgive the stupid questions "like i said im new to fowl" but when you say "late bread sweater stag BUT I really like him" you seem to be implying something could be better with him because he was late bred ? whats the problem if any ?

    i got a stash of shanks probably about 5 years back now but all hazel ,glad i did cause there a bit thinner on the ground now weve moved ,could do with a couple of blackthorn now ,im drawn to knob sticks and i think the color of blackthorn works well with a knob stick or root handled stick

    I LIKE THE IDEA OF USING BLACK AND WHITE POLY ive started the seeds in modules and growing them on in the house cool at the moment !do you think i should pot on into 3" bags once their a reasonable size and get them into an unheated GH or frame asap or keep with slight heat in house potted on ? were quite exposed here so and last frosts 2nd week of may

    i id it last year "im new to growing veg though" trying to get better results than the year before which was great for us ,and they all bolted ,that could be down to general conditions though as ive heard others had the same problems all over ! ,last season was crap for us virtually everything bolted or did not do ,hopefully this one will be better ,anyway getting back to starting sets early in modules "im not this year" but i do knows others do

    that would be good tiercel if you dont mind ! im not growing them to show though just want large onions ,way back i had an uncle who grew for the show bench and every year i looked forward to visits and the all the various veg we used to get off him ,and remember the kelsae onions as having a sweet sweet mild taste that was very good raw (i do cheese and onion and salads during the summer with a vengeance !) i remember once taking some into work "i used to work as a gardener for the local authority" and one old guy used to spend time during our breaks talking gardening with us ,he was in hi
