    How was the aztec broccoli terry? Sorry John meant to message you yes it was very nice. Good texture great colour and tasted good. Wouldn't say it tasted like spinach or a broccoli some where in the middle had a taste of its own. But if you like either of them two you would like it. So from me

    Pile loads of time into the stock training while you have the chance before you know it he will be 10 months old and raring to go. Time flies by when they are pups. Be interested what you do switch his diet too do you think his not doing ok on what ever your using now ? Looks fine in the picture

    Good for you sounds great. I remember as a kid I used to holiday with the grandparents in there old vw one. If I remember right the roof used to lift up and there was a bed either side. We stopped in thetford over night once up nice an early and stepped out to see a herd of deer stood there never forget that. Once we also managed to jam the donkey in the back and took him to the beach. Fair play granddad never shied away from a challenge

    Had to laugh this morning the wife did shopping list yesterday and said do we need carrots. I said nah I got that covered down the plot today then scrapped around a couple and saw nice bit of girth. Though right better get the fork don't want to snap them in half and leave 6 inches in the ground or do my back in heaving them out. Pushed it in too the hilt and levered the soil lose the dam things fell over I was laughing my head off Told the wife they are ornamental ones but still got enough for dinner Picked the first aztec broccoli today to try with the roast tomorrow

    Good way to get the kids to eat fruit and veg. My middle daughter is all ways asking for dam chips but yesterday I think she cooked 3 lots of runners and just a bit of butter which is good to see. They will all sit there shelling peas as well but I have to expect some losses

    Looks like I might get two cobs off some of my sweet corns which is good. I only planted 30 started them off in toilet roll holders then planted out. In hind site should have let them get bit bigger to help keep out way of the slugs lost a good half dozen. But other than that they seem a good crop to grow. Will be planting a larger quantity next year. I think they were golden bantam

    Slug hole free too thats the best bit
  12. terryd
    exactly and if you part on good terms you can all ways call again next year

    Keep trying plenty of nice land owners left just got to find them. I all ways feel a muppet going up to some strangers door you never what reception your going to get but on the whole even if its a no it tends to a polite one and I am all ways polite back. Hell of a privilege to be let on some ones land especially now a days. Took me 3 years on one spot to get permission as he had been chasing people off all the time. I used to call every season but he was all ways nice about it then last year said fine you carry on just text me when your about

    Mine have got that too gnipper same as you been dousing them with bucket of water when I get home and they bone dry all day. In hind site a good mulch according to google would be good option. Had a blight alert for my postcode anyway now Spuds are in the bag so good job they got in early Handy site this one http://www.blightwatch.co.uk/content/bw-Home.asp They text you for free to let you know when there is a Smith Period in your area

    unusual jam terry ive only done raspberry.blackcurrant,redcurrant is the cake homemade it looks good enough to eat. yea I made cake this morning easy recipe from here. Bit of butter and a cuppa http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/food/recipes/fruit-tea-loaf/
  17. terryd
    Well the marrow and ginger jam was big hit family was very dubious till they tasted it and I was. Can't see it getting a chance to mature . But tastes like a marmalade very nice Sweet corn cobs are starting to form down the plot too

    Think your right Allan looking at the pictures online and I remember buying some seed too. Been tea total few years so will skip the rum but I like the sound of the lamb mince. As a rule I cut them into rounds and stuff with beef mince and top with cheese and bread crumbs and bake. But spiced lamb sounds good
  19. terryd
    Lots of variations on it John but we basically get the cheapest bit of lamb possible a small bit of neck or some thing. Add what ever veg is available leeks, spuds and bit of cabbage some herbs and stock. The liquid is meant to be quite thin rather than soup like. Taste gets better the following day plus if you used a fatty bit of lamb you can skim fat off if your inclined Good description here better than I can explain http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/cym/fetch-recipe.php?rid=cawl
  20. terryd
    Baby leeks and cheese bake never occurred to me we started having them with roast dinner just cooked in butter and as you say cawl. Also leek and potato soup. I see you don't trim them Allan ? I planted two lots last year one trimmed top and bottom and the other untouched and the untouched ones ended double the size so that sealed that for me. Any one id this spud ? its a second early or main crop I lost the label and they did quite well so might try again next year. another two marrows today so I am going to try this jam recipe at weekend http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/

    Ebola

    terryd replied to paulus's topic in General Talk

    That would be the sensible thing to do and may be sooner than later we seem to think we can control any outbreak that arrives here why even bother taking the chance Exactly I would have thought first thing to do would be to lock the place down as much as possible. unless it was bird flu then that may have been a problem chuck bloody net over the place
