    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.

    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/

    lol they freeze well but you can leave in the ground over winter until spring as a rule. I dont bother cutting leaves off

    Handy to have about your person if your out and about you never know. Especially when you walk out onto a sand bar in the fog and dark and lose your sense of direction with the tide coming in

    Not much to say just lots to pick, Pretty hard to start any thing off seed wise with the dam sluds taking stuff out row at a time. The old caterpillars are going hard at it too My raspberries baffle me. I can't decide if they are autumn or summer fruiting. They start in the summer then fade out then crack on again. I thought they had finished but today then got caught out with fruit every where but all too far gone

    Probably like any thing else as soon as you want it. Its worth a bloody fortune even it has never been trod on for 30 years. But you never know

    I walked through the village one morning with a dog and the ferret box and I think I made it about half a mile before I had a cid car pull along side me and question me. Nice lady though and good as gold and wished me good luck ferreting. She was just doing her job. It was the curtain twitcher who ever it was I have an issue with

    Funny you should say that I was only thinking yesterday how a lurcher I had once we had such a great bond because he never gave me cause to be firm on him. He just did every thing right and it made life easy. Compared to the one now who I have had to be firm with on occasion and if I am honest he has got away with stuff he maybe shouldn't. In hind site I should have done things different a few times. But if they won't listen or get the message your options start to run out. If my dog had his way he would be on the settee and I would be on the floor and he wouldn't do sod all he didn't want t

    I cycle 16 miles most days to work on a 30 quid bike. Got lucky mind as it is an old touring model. Plenty of good hybrid bikes about going cheap. Unless of course you fancy the lycra road bike look

    I have had a few dogs and I couldn't fault them back then and my little JR in particular was a special fella. But I have decided to enjoy the one I have now. Even though he is a pain in the ass his the dog I have and I intend to enjoy him regardless

    tell me about it

    Poor wee thing... Firstly,..and most importantly,..forget all about Saluki this or that,..for, all things being equal,..his cross-bred lineage frequently means nowt.... He is, simply a frightened and confused young animal....your job,..if you decide to take it,..is to reassure him that if you are around, nothing can harm him. You have to be the man,..walk tall,..stand in front of anything or anyone that might spook him....protect him,...give him time.... All dogs are different,...I've owned herding breeds that have been raised on remote farms and who are virtually wild animals

    Yes true hope you get sorted and back out at some point
