    I think my sweet corn suffered from a lack of pollination I did plant them in a block but let them get on with it as we had lots of wind so I didn't intervene and manually do any thing. We will try again next year

    Corn looking nice johnny. One of mine is starting to brown it's tassels so i think I need to check it for ripeness. Think they are going to come one at a time was hoping for them too all ripen at same time as there is 5 of us

    yea my toms down the plot are rotting but getting some nice ones out the pots in the yard now. The black krim beef steak ones are very nice. The look rubbish until they sliced but taste great

    not much else to be done at the moment just pick what ever I fancy and all winter veg is in so thats it really. Just keep on top of any digging as stuff comes out so I don't suddenly have a whole plot to do. Bet you have some dam nice yokes on the them eggs lovely

    Sounds like you done well on your own and a tidy start to the season do you have a pup in the wings then ?

    Was reading an old article in the country mans weekly about maybe it made sense to start a pup a bit early so it could find its feet when chasing stuff and less likely to be so full on. Rather than show a 12 month old a dog a rabbit for the first time so it goes hell for leather straight into the wire or what ever.

    This was my tom back in the eighties great dog and lovely nature. Cracking on the lamp but unfortunately took a terminal fall one night in his third year Don't have any decent pictures of him. He was a lurcher to lurcher no idea of the mix but workers

    My best ever was a terrier the main reason was he could enter any cover and track the rabbit till it went to ground. So once he scented a rabbit it was game on . Obviously wouldn't catch a rabbit on the run but that didn't matter. A lurcher physically just can't enter the same cover but they have there own advantages and this day and age with badgers every where a lurcher for me would be the way to go. and here he is

    Bought up by the grand parents and grandad had zero patience if you got under his feet you got a clout. Wouldn't change a thing though and it taught me to move quick

    You won't find a more comprehensive post than that on mending nets every thing is covered rather than just parts of it. I all most can't wait for the next rabbit to shred my nets

    Seems to have been an odd year for germination a few people have had problems on our plots this year. I think I will give it a go on the plot the spuds are going in next year and see what happens

    Health permitting I think you just got to keep going and keep active. As soon as you start slowing down its going to get harder to get going again and your on a slippery slope. Thats the plan any way

    Some nice field mushrooms by me but I haven't picked any. I have done in the past just bit wary now a days. Think it was last year some chap ate the wrong ones and his internal organs shutdown in devon I think. I think you need to be well clued up and I am not so have not picked any

    With the squatters it might help as well to make a slight noise of some sort so the dog gets to know its needs to look close

    Got the week off so been trying to get ontop of the weeds. Started skimming the top off my path to stop it creeping onto the plot The other side is a bit of a pain my neighbours jungle keeps coming at me. I keep taking the edge off but they wont have a plot left at this rate dug up the box hedge and paving slabs they were just hiding weeds and slugs once thats done I can do the same on the other plot so plenty to do

    Any thoughts on pig manure for the plot ? I have access to some on a hard standing by the road side so i can bag it easy whopping heap going back years. Had a quick google and it all seems doom and gloom about it. The pigs are kept indoors and fed pellets not sure if they get scraps or not

    Yep definite change in the weather this week mornings are nippy and the late evenings. Nights are pulling in and the black berries seem early. Fingers crossed for a nice frosty proper winter.
