    I just grow clubroot resistant stuff Jok there are a few varieties apart from winter stuff which doesn't suffer from it. The seed is dearer but well worth it these are kilaton and they looking great now It has taken over 18 years of conventional breeding to develop a variety that can combat the devastating brassica disease Clubroot, and this superb variety is the most resistant we have ever grown on our trials. This clubroot resistant cabbage produces excellent quality, 2kg, autumn ballheads with a solid, dense structure. Cabbage 'Kilaton' is superb for making coleslaws, salads

    Again no guarantee's it depends on time of year and weather patterns. All things being equal it should work, the only problem is things are rarely equal. TC I've planted loads of raddish....my whole family loves them. We had a week of misformed raddish followed by a month of non....now Iv got a million misformed ones again lol Planted to many all together at one time. Next year I will aim for raddish all season! get more in now they go like hell. Going to sow more stuff tomorrow lettuce etc

    toms sound like leaf curl they get it when stressed. This is the first year I have not had it as I put stuff in the buckets to keep moisture like moss and old bits of wood and try keep regular watering

    I did notice yesterday in that particular patch the spuds were set in the clay like concrete no way to expand. If I had waited another 2 or 3 weeks the soil would have been better to dig over and not set hard but on the other hand the old blight has landed on some of the rows so it is game over but I don't care because I have a decent crop in the bag so it is swings and round abouts really I have one row of spuds that is under a net pure accident as it fell off the peas and they have huge haulms for my standards anyway so if what is under the ground matches I will be chuff

    Feck off terry that dog couldn't lift the shotty let alone pull the trigger pmsl haha very true. His terrified of feathers so thats him fooked at the first hurdle

    Terry, that picture could be a snap shot of my youth, bag of ferrets, terrier, little lurcher and the trusty Baikal single barrel.....happy days. yes that sums it up when I took that terrier I never left with out a ferret oh and a shovel. Even in middle of summer if he marked in the middle of a gorse bank I all ways honoured his mark and we got the bugger out lol then home for bowl of grans stew. As you say great days

    Get up extra early and spend an hour with him then rush home from work and out with him again for another hour or so. My life seems to revolve around the dog. If I woke up with no dog and I wouldn't know what to do with my self and would suddenly have a lot of free time. If I ever have another its staying out side too

    My experience with my beddy whippet was a good one and I don't recall ever regretting any thing about her. Absolute pleasure in all respects as I recall

    Don't worry jok I have a cunning plan. I am turning over a new leaf or not as the case maybe lol. Nice cauli today timed it right. They are a sod all coming at once and looked rough once they get discoloured and nibbled
