  1. Paint Dries or so I'm led to believe.
  2. Youv'e never been in the Middle East then. Them Philipinos new how to do it for us. Don't know about using bottles of wine. These guys used fruit extract and mollasses. Large areas of my memory totally gone. OH. And my eyesight.
  3. Absolutely the bollocks. Went down Boston,(North Bank) Lincs, night fising. Had a bag of bleak/bleek for deadbate. We had a hell of a night. Back to Northamton in the morning and cut the things up into about 1 inch sections. I kid you not, each and every one of the things were jumping about in the bath. Gave my good lady a right fright. Anyhow. Back to the subject. Jellied and with black pepper, up to the local The Headlands if anyone reading knows it, and YES proper snap.
  4. Glad you got a good crop pal. I went to mine on Tuesday and had a hatful. (runner beans I'm on about)went again today and filled a basket. It must be true what the old guys say. Pick loads early and you will reap the rewards later. Can't deny it is a hell of a crop.
  5. ZX10Mike. Where are you pal? Iv'e just pm'd new man and trying to arrange a pint. Up for it. Iv'e suggested the Globe in Snarestone. Nice place.Jok.
  6. Well. For what it's worth. Don't muck the ground for parsnips. Not sure why but they reckon it makes the plant split it;s roots and you end up with not a lot. On the plus side with carrots. 2 of my allotment neighbours have sowed in half blue barrels and they have done very well. Learn every year don't we/

    Midgies

    Jungle formula Deet.
  8. No mate. To be honest I didn,t expect any results at all, Earlier on in the year I asked about the carrot fly and how to prevent the little booger. I just did the trench, riddled the soil and hey presto. A first for me. Germination seemed the same as all the other root crops. I say again, first time I've been able to grow parsnip. Result.
  9. Well guys. I k now this topic is a bit stale but I'd like to let you know that all's well. Don't know where to start really. Early spuds very good. Arran Pilot. Bit of scab but otherwise ok.Cabbage. cauli very good and taste good as well Peas. Main line took a bit of a hammering but all in all a good crop. All in the freezer. 2nd crop not so good but again in the freezer. Strange not too much pea moth. Carrots outstanding. For the first time ever I riddled all the soil before seeding to a depth of about 10 inches. Good result. Beetroot very good. Pickling well. Shalllots same. Making a ton of
  10. Oh. And a little nail varnish polish on the wheel to stop it getting loose(again don't tell her)
  11. In'shallah. my fcking heart bleeds.
  12. I wish. State of my joints. Hard work now mate. Mind you Iv'e 21 years on you. Have a hell of a day. Jok.
  13. Sorry Marshman. It's me being me. Whacked my old man with a spade and had to get out of Scotland in a hurry. Saw the link and thought it was amusing.
  14. Well Oletimer. Get yourself up to Coton and Hopwas wharf and let's have a pint. Anytime mind you.
  15. Have a look at 'if you [BANNED TEXT]'t back in time where would you go'?
  16. Back to when I hit the old man with a spade. Missed the vital ingredient
  17. I hope this did not get the wrong impression. When I said stick your thumb in I really did mean only that. If you dunk your thumb in milk or whatever the young are on and let them suck your thumb you will definitely bond. It matters a lot later on when out rabbiting.
  18. Eh up son. Do you you want a visit down the allotment? Lager, cider, wine and Oh some vegies. Got a bit a of a bbq as well. Any time pal. Jok.
  19. What do you know.?? Went down without any thoughts about getting veg. Beans. Beans . How nice to have any and for dinner too. My friend Jocky has posted 15 inch which I thought was a figment of his imagination but no, the pics prove it. Still like the idea of French beans though.
  20. IS JOHN GALWAY STILL WITH US AND WATCHING THIS>We need to hear from you John.Jok.
