    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.

    I would have thought if its just a case of a couple of hops and the rabbits in cover so the pup can have a sniff a round no harm done and its all learning. But I wouldn't want him having a proper run my self

    Fairy well thats some thing else to try handy to know. My sweet corn is still up right after the winds so that was good to see. Sheltered by my runner bean wall. Been picking black berries last few nights too good for a nice tart. Won't be bothering with jam got enough jam done at the moment. Noticed a change in the weather this week bit of a chill in the mornings autumn not far away now

    Welcome to gardening, if it's not carrot fly then its cabbage root fly, and if the cabbages get away from that it's the bloody cabbage whites. And if you manage to stop all those the bloody slugs get them. Never ending. TC Thats about right what ever I plant if I read up on whats its most prone too thats what I will get and it says don't plant the same family there again for years to come so it won't be long on my two plots I won't be able to plant any thing for years Saying that even with club root I found this year starting in pots and get a big root ball going then big han

    Great days and the old motor bike battery acid rotting holes in all your clothes. As a kid before I had a lurcher the first time I went for a walk at night just to see what I could see I actually used a flashing yellow/orange light pinched off the road cones. I switched it onto static of course so as not to seem like a complete loon Even with that I saw rabbits out and about which set me on my path to get my first lurcher or get a job with the council

    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

  25. terryd
