    I know sod all and had problems of me own which have been ironed out. But nip to screw fix and get this http://www.screwfix.com/p/braided-polyester-rope-pink-white-5mm-x-15-2m/73573 let the dog drag it around some where there is nothing to chase without holding it. Then go to where there is stock. But when she takes off might be an idea to take a step or two in the same direction because she will hurt her self when she hits the end. But you will have caught her in the act then. Or use a collar

    Yes I know what you mean Charlie. It did bother me to start but I noticed he only did it if they got close when he was marking. Then he fooked them off and went back to the hole. He only chased then back ten yards or so and often they would sod off then. If not he just went the other side of the hedge out the way Brainy fella. If me big black lad did that I would put stop to it he has enough ideas lol

    My little jr when ferreting all ways herded cattle away a few yards by charging them and barking and swinging around and getting on with the job in hand. He had a 6th sense though and all ways new if they weren't going to budge then he opted to just work the other side of the hedge. He also made sure he never got cut off. Wise little dog lol

    Animals stampeding around in the dark worries me mostly because the daft sods could break some thing. If not me then them selves. Nothing worse than a horse thundering along in the pitch black so I just avoid them all if i can

    you know its good when you watch it right through

    Couldn't agree more. If its a young xBull or xBedlington it will catch. And might be spectacular and kill 1000s rabbits (or whatever you are after) but you will damage it. The point is not that young dogs won't catch, the point is that in the catching they're likely to get damaged because they are not properly developed. This is not about being soft on the dog or wrapping it in cotton wool it is about protecting your pet/investment. I think bull crosses should be held back the most because they are so brave and strong they show injuries the least. some thing to be said for that.

    The whippet cross folks just get on with and have no need to beat there chests
  8. terryd

    Them toms in the picture are crimson crush Arry and yes they seem fine as far as blight goes. The spuds not far away all got blighted. They are suffering bad from blossom end rot but that is my fault with the watering or lack of in this case. Taste great and definitely a good out door tomato and I will be doing them next year but making the ground water retentive with one method or another . Bloody good crop too just shame most rotted Yes Allan that is them Looking forward to chips monday night if not before

    You are right Arry yours look well happy in there In my case it was simply a matter of laziness lol. I use the scaffold netting which was on them but I sort of threw it on. If your going to net you need to do it proper and support the netting off the plants and secure it around the edges on the ground which also helps keep slugs out. I didn't and that is the result. I should have learnt by now Had a bit of a tidy up to day. It is that time of year now when I do tend to leave the plot get on with it and switch my focus to rabbits, big bass and pigeons. So this year making the effort

    bet there is a bull cross the other side of the bale

    you got that right wish I had been taking notes when nan was alive. I have never been able to recreate her stew

    I remember my beddy/whippet doing some thing long them lines when she was young. Then she eventually grabbed one literally by the fur and struggled to hold it. I remember her losing a few then she sort of perfected things and held them just by the skin. Just the way she was and turned out brilliant. Stick with it and now is the time nice easy rabbits up against a nice thick hedge. Get right in there and give a bit of encouragement rather than stand a 100 yards away holding the lamp

    Repeatedly pick it up off the floor tens times in a row and give it a bit of fish oil or what ever. If it nips don't flinch or acknowledge it just continue holding it and be gentle but firm and make a fuss of it. Just invest plenty of time in it now while it is young. Hopefully be fine unless it is a nut which it unlikely

    Cheers jok it is no dandelion mind but yes it is a weed and a big one. Firm be-leaver in posting the bad as well as the good it gives a better representation of whats going on. Be it with me dog, ferrets or me sprouts lol. More encouraging to folks just starting out I reckon

    The biggest asset is a dog to tell you there is some thing there or you see them go down.
  17. terryd

    ha same as a trainee game keeper at 18 quid a week. The game farm took on school leavers and got it paid for by the government. We used to have to share a cottage owned by the game farm and again the gov paid them for that. Part of the deal was the wife of one of the owners had to provide us with a meal every night. I put a flee in there ear because after being used to grandmothers home cooking and plenty of it. A frozen spag bol off the no frills shelf in quick save didn't cut it for me. She soon bucked her ideas up then and actually cooked

    I put a shelf on my mesh gate to stop them going up. But some one asked the same on here recently and some body recommend just hanging pipes along the wall. Do the same job plus they get the benefit of the pipes

    I just peel and cut as I would to use then blanched for a couple of minutes. They freeze really well and just lob straight in the oven from frozen with a bit of honey on or how ever you want to use them. Some helpful info here for you regarding freezing part 1 and 2 in the links https://www.allotment-garden.org/recipe/freezing-produce/freeze-information-blanching/
