    They are only kits mate. My bitch is spot on with the ferrets, I am just trying to make sure the ferrets are the same with dogs. Nothing worse than a ferreting dog getting bit by an angry stinker. very true you got them off to a great start anyway

    Nice pictures there they seem to get on well. That would worry me to death though in case the ferret decided to latch onto the dog but they obviously seem to get on well

    Onions look so appetising laying like that. People down the allotments have them laying around drying out looks great. I like that green house too nice old wooden frame. Is that broccoli hiding in the bottom corner ?

    Plenty of harvesting going on at the moment more runners today, pulled a row of turnips and dug few new spuds. Also a couple of small cucumbers. For dinner we had nice bass fillet new spuds and runners covered in butter. Nice self sufficient meal very tasty

    Mine in containers in the back yard have done brilliant I have filled out the freezer and they are still coming. Turn your back for 5 minutes and they seem to double in size. Ones in the allotment are just kicking off now as well

    Used to love the smell of hemp as a kid remember making the purse nets on the grandmothers kitchen door much to her annoyance. Good to see long netting videos it gives a good insight into whats what. I have a dvd here by the warrener and it shows long netting using night vision gear so a better view of what happens. I often scan my net afterwards with a torch depending where I am so I see what a hash I made of setting and make it better next time

    The net just looked very tight in places where they were bouncing off more like a fence Mind you after viewing again I could be wrong.

    Once you have ridden a bike on the roads you soon see things from the other side and show cyclists more respect. Plenty of room for every one

    I noticed that as well one thing I do is take my time picking the net up there is no rush and it is good to have it tidy for the next trip so you are basically working on the next trip as you stow it away

    Kizzy great dog never measured her but she was tiny. Brilliant temperament and great little worker. Lived to ripe old age as well If a rabbit was way out in a big field I just got between it and home and slipped her as the rabbit got closer but I did that with bigger dogs any way common sense. No point wasting dogs energy storming off after a rabbit miles away

    Yes of course your right but your choosing the net and setting

    You could may be draw comparison with fishing. A novice angler with his £300 zipplex bass rod won't catch as many bass as an experienced angler and his odessa bass rod off ebay for twenty quid

    Setting I would say the net needs to be in the right place at the right time in the right conditions. I think if you get that right even a poor net will catch (not well but it will ) compared to a nice quality hand made net made by any of the skilled makers on here if you set it in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong conditions you wont catch or are unlikely. Saying that if you don't try you won't find out what are the right conditions. Like any thing put the hours in and it will come I still wear L plates mind this will be my second season coming up

    Makes sense baw but a quick google takes me to this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2342045/120billion-money-drain-EVERY-year-The-astonishing-Whitehall-waste-send-British-family-annual-luxury-holiday.html Surprising what goes where

    All comes down to money this country seems really bad and putting it in the right place. Nhs for example the wife was in hospital the other day two nurses run ragged on a heart ward no spare beds, one nurse jumping in her car to go 50 miles to another hospital where she was needed. The wife couldn't have test needed because they won't pay for the guy to work weekends. Going back to the army they spend millions training them but them seem to have to rely on charity when they leave which is not right. If you want to build some thing stupid or help another country here have a few million. I don'

    A positive mark all ready that's a cracking start like a duck to water. Looks great too

    Good luck then Liam look forward to the pictures

    Few more goodies today Plenty of blanching going on at the moment

    No nostalgia in fibre glass less hassle though I guess. But I do like the feel of hazel saying that I don't have to deal with very hard ground as a rule

    Mine is 9 miles up the road so either go straight from work or jump on the bicycle. Mind you with that cabbage my mate gave me took 10 hours to get home with the drag it gave me You could take one up the road then have two the space soon goes. You could all ways give up the furthest one then if you felt like it

    Have you checked out landshare Liam in the mean time you might be able to get some thing http://www.landshare.net/

    I was wondering how that was done with the collies. Your stuff looks so clean and pest free. With me at the moment if it is not netted it gets eaten by some thing and half arsed netted is no good either. Pointless just lobbing a bit of cheap netting on top do it properly or not at all seems to be the way. The butter flies are swarming the place at the moment. Saying that a friend near me has whopping healthy cabbages and brocolli and he just laid a big piece of netting on top. Plenty of gaps around the edge and his stuff seems fine. I think his soil is very good as every thing he has seems t

    Adding a selvedge for me was the high light of making the net. The end was in sight and the selvedge does not take long. For me there was no point in putting all that effort in then cutting a corner at the end. I did notice it made the net sit tidier as well but didn't give any thought as to why but now I know

    looking good tel, never mind about the size as all the rest will be wasted as for the comfrey, is the lump of concrete to hold it down? have you tried putting it in a pillow case and tieing it to the tub, then you can give the water ( stale ) a shake to liven it up Yea the concrete is just to weight it down. I am not adding water to it just letting rot down until I get the oil like lquid. It doesnt smell as much then and is very concentrated. Takes longer mind but in no rush now

    One of you spuds even looks like it is smiling jj . Love all the cucumbers hanging down too. Been tidying my path last day or two to try and stop grassing and weeds sneaking across. I didn't like to waste the space so I ran a line of giant winter spinach down it The comfrey distillery Few pickings today Now the funny thing is that cabbage came from a seedling given to me by my mate in next plot. He gave me one of his cabbages today to as he had spare from the same batch. Slight size difference He put it down to his ground being well manured where as my plot
