    Purple sprouting is still producing well getting a nice bag full every two days. Pulled the swedes today and popped in the shed before they go to seed. Couple of spring cabbages went to seed instead of hearting up so they are in the fridge for greens. To wet to do any thing else at the moment

    I am constantly looking for new drops when the wife is driving I am like a bloody owl in the passenger seat head spinning around looking over hedges, Trying to first find rabbits then suss the terrain and entry points oh and of course sort permission

    Yep all ways moaning about the weather. I have to say as a kid I hated the summer and prefered nice cold winters but as I get older I do enjoy the nice warmth of the sun

    The single row of maris bard I planted on the 8th were showing them selves today Quite surprised I expected them to have been pretty dormant. Earthed them up any way in case

    Planted some more peas today but the high light was the asparagus showing I can't take any credit though as I inherited it but looking forward to eating it only downer was some kids tipped two of my 45 gallon drums of water over so the purple sprouting got an gallon watering pretty much like any other day this winter

    i got told that its to get the roots going because if you put them straight in the ground they pop themselves back out to the top of the soil and some think its birds pulling them out, so i'm sticking with the trays and they pop up in them, at least i can sort them out when they go in the ground Gets the onions off to a good start any way mine went straight in yesterday. Next year I will try some like yours. Been trying to do the maths now adays and figure how much I actually want of what. Planted 50 reds and red whites yesterday plus the 70-90 that I over wintered should do I gues

    We are getting frosts but nothing major spuds are in but I doubt they are moving yet and well earthed up anyway. The weather here is like a proper spring so far the odd wet day and and a few sunny frosty days. Nothing extreme either way so fingers crossed the old switch will flick in couple of weeks and we will start spring for sure.

    Done the bulk of my digging early in the week after work before the wet arrived cobbled a bit of water capture together diy not my thing but it works some pickings today sweet potato seen this on the net so thought I would have a ago chilli broadbeans and few bits in the cold houses

    Not much too it back in work the next morning just sore. They did under do the aesthetic so I felt them cut through the tube but other than that ok. On the plus side I looked well endowed for a day or two until the swelling went down

    I would just keep it for rainy day or emergency. It puzzles me when people get a lump sum and they try and make it grow by buying a business for example which nine times out of ten is doomed and just watch it all go out the window. I would just carry on as per normal and spend it as I wanted personally

    What you going to start in the baths jj ? They make an ideal seed bed filled like that high out the way and easy to cover I have a spare bath down the plot. I showed my inexperience today I couldn't help my self and planted a short row of earlies. Layed some horse manure in the trench then a layer of dry compost from my bin and sat them in that. Worst that can happen is it costs me a dozen seed spuds I will make sure they are kept earthed up when any frosts are about and the netting will help. Picked some more cabbage and leeks made a good leek and potato soup when I got back

    Yea that sounds about right walked miles out all day. Get home starving and dying of thirst and polish off two plates of grans stew in record time. Drank water out of a cattle trough one day was so thirsty not the best idea was sick as a dog for few days

    Had moses as a kid and my cousin had tess we grew up together and they taught me loads. Pictures have been up before but I like them moses and tess Nice to look back at old pictures. Good old days when I could walk along the road with a snared fox over me shoulder and no one bat an eye lid
