    Hire one of the fairly big campers, drive up toward Bristol sticking to the coast stopping each night for a slap up meal and a few pints, may be sling a hook out here and there. Cross over to the other coast may be taking in Stone Henge and then follow the coast driving back down home, make it long or short as suits. Atb have happy birth day you guys. Cheers Arry
  2. What i'm worried about is this little Hedge Hog real young one and tiny might be able to get in the boxes. Had as many as three full grown one in the garden before now, that not been a problem, I've snared them poisoned the trapped them, but to be on the safe side think I need a good live trap. I have a live squirrel trap and a mink trap but I don't get many rats in then mostly Hedge Hogs they seem a bit thick as you can catch the same one night after night. Just wondered if theres a better type. Cheers Arry
  3. GL what variety were your Black Cherry Toms and make please? Buy the way I use a very small paint brush on Cucumber flowers and on my Tomato flowers to pollinate the flowers, seems to help stop the cucumber from going yellow and drying out, Tom you seem to get a full truss. Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs thought it might help. Cheers Arry
  4. Having seen a big rat run from under my bird feeders under the neighbours fence then under her shed. I had about a dozen or so when it was wet cold and snow, but this is the first one i've see signs of in the summer. So i thought i'd put some boxes out two with back to back snap traps and one with a single in. Just after 10.30pm last night thought I would have a quick check, as I walked up the garden path I shone the torch in the direction of the traps and there in the middle of the path is what I thought was a rat. As I got a little closer I could see it was not a rat but a very small hedge
  5. Only there two weeks ago, very nice. Lulworth cove very close by. Taken from the entrance. Cheers Arry
  6. GL have to have a crack at the Black Cherry one then, Sungold have been excellent Tigerela good. Two new ones to me this year both suppose to be 100% blight resistant which i grew this year is "Mountain Magic" which I can recommend and "Crimson Crush" (put in later and not ripe yet). Cheers Arry
  7. Been watering with out it don't think i'd have anything. What seems to be thriving is them sweet potatoes mate. Tried sweet potatoes leaves the other night there really nice, Did them in a wok and stir fried them as a side dish with a bit of Oyster sauce. Runners are really good "White Lady" can really recommend that variety, first time i've grown that one and about 4 of last years plants of a red one called "Armstrong ". Having to water the runners every 2 days as they start to wilt then the beans just shrivel if not. Carrots are good Beetroot good kale and Purple sprouting struggling but
  8. A old chap on the building years ago used to grow massive onions you know show types. Asked him how he did it, he wrote it down for me but that scrap of paper is long gone, but remember him saying sow you seeds on Christmas day he didn't use sets. Wish i'd looked after that info he's gone now bless his heart. The green stuff I over winter is Kale only the black this year, usually grow the curly cut and come again type as well, and Purple Sprouting ( I love that stuff ) all doing quite well considering the dry weather and so easy to grow.

  13. I know what you mean, I feel for the ferrets they just want to be out there and so do I if the truth known. My mate and I were talking about taking them for a run out, if we do it will be some ground burrows in the woods, no cover there so you can see them okay. We will travel light and take no nets, just drop them in and let them bolt. On the collar side, I would try and get her used to it mate. One of my ferrets got a habit of slipping out of the burrow a carrying on down the hedge by her self, found her with the finder fifty yards away on more than one occasion. Mind a lot of our grou
  14. As terryd and neil b said you can't handle them to much. I like to feed small strips on meat by hand always work for me in the past. Cheers Arry
