    Good news at last. Took my courgette plants back to the greenhouse and lo and behold they are ok. Put the back up runner bean plants in (put another 50 in just in case) and my potatoes look good. Wife informs me that a frost tonight is likely. Well much too late to do anything about that. Hope you are all doing ok.

    Thanks you lot. Obviously I'll not be spending that kind of dosh. Quite surprised me did that. Dub Dub?? If anyone out there wants this Widow all it will be is postage.

    I'll give it a go. Thanks.

    Must be someone out there. All I need is a pointer as to where to get some.

    Since I started the banter I feel obliged to respond. Working big warrens I tend to have a MK1 at each end and one in the middle. All I'm trying to do, given that I don't have a wonderful dog, is to let me know where the action is or is likely to be. I hope you all agree that the boxes, set at about 3 foot, are a bonus. Not only that, the collars are less likely to give you problems in the nets. Admitted I'm an old hand, couldn't get on with the new MK3 and consistantly get good results with the old gear, have a great friend who wants to change back to a MK1 I think I'm vindicated. Any road on

    Should have added. Why buy a Mk3 when there's loads of good Mk1's still available?

    Bought this Black Widow in Florida years ago. Tried giving it away but nothing doing. Nipples are as near as dammit 8mm. If I'm going to keep it I need tubes and a pouch. Anyone out there who can help? Jok.

    Talk about a run of luck. Went down this morning to check on things, not a blessed cabbage plant left under the clouche. Slugs and snails. No more early setting for me. Jok.

    They don't like it any more than the runner beans. Even if they do it will knock them back. Best get some more seed in. Jok.

    Blinking frost. Thought I was a tad early but decided to put my runner bean plants in. 50. Dead as bread. Good job there is a back up plan. Looks like the early spuds made it. Ridged them this morning. Anyone else made the same mistake? (Midlands). Jok.

    Usual. The old boy in the corner down at the allotment. 5 inches me lad. You just open another can and sit down to listen. There must be something useful to learn somewhere. Jok.

    You are not wrong. Amazing as it may seem but aspirin is the elixir. Don't mind trying anything though. All the talk about the carrot fly flying at no more than 5 inches is to me a load of bull. Set 2 rows today and gave them both the aspirin. Everything else looks great. Even the early weeds are coming on good.Jok.

    Well. I posted on the 10th of March and to be honest thought I'd have a few more comments/posts. The allotment is looking very good. All potatoes in, broad beans, onion sets, parsnip and beetroot seed, strawberry plants and a rhubarb root, 2 rows of carrot, all the brassicas coming on well in the greenhouse together with squash, marrow and pumpkin. Money maker tomato yet to make a break through but that's to be expected. All in all not too bad. Jok.

    Think the idea is not to 'bite' my friend. You are gonna end up in deep water.Jok.

    Hit your dad over the head with a spade because he's decided he no longer wants you and decides to give you a very hard time. Get out of Dodge at 15 and head for the hills. £18 in your pocket, 250 miles from home. YMCA for £4 a week. Do the math. Being tough or hard isn't really the option. Survival is.jok.
