  1. That all sounds bang on and the exact opposite of what I did so thats how I know its bang on lol.
  2. I try and net every thing and if I don't its gone. Pain in the arse but got to be done. Also important to prop the net off any leaves. I fail on that bit some times
  3. I must say the first night i took the 150 out i found the colour of the light wierd and i nearly went back to the car for me old lamp. But after a couple of night i got used to it. For sheer convenience you can't beat them and for a couple of hours out which i do they are ideal. I don't remember the dog looking and me and saying I really don't like the colour of this light you know. He would have a crack if i used a candle
  4. not sure where you are or if your sorted but http://www.railwaysleeperswestwales.co.uk/
  5. I don't see a problem with an older dog. Just because the owner has got fed up or has other reasons don't mean the dog won't be fine. Some real crackers floating around on fb just looking for a home If I ever offer my dog up mind for gods sake don't take him His got more issues than you can shake a stick at
  6. close call and some ones going to lose there certificate
  7. I used a flashing yellow road light . I did turn the flash off i am not stupid I was only a kid and the fella up the road told me he went lamping with his lurcher and you got rabbits out in the fields at night so I wanted to see for my self. Turns out he was right
  8. great shame the country side is not the same with out a rabbits in it. It just don't seem right
  9. have a look on ebay for a used dogtra
  10. Them lettuce look lovely and clean all ways a good selling point with the family that. I grew some butterball lettuce this year and won't be again. They are a magnet for the little slugs getting in. I grew some others as well nice and crispy much better slugs been on the rampage and decimated me runners which were looking good strawberries get a good nibbling as well. Nothing sacred ready for the caterpillars though
  11. aye get a couple of kits and gently does it. Depending on the dogs attitude kits will be quite tempting but as its a pup you are in good position. My dog has been around ferrets all his life but never seen a kit until a week or two ago and lets just say things didn't go that well But he is on track with them now
  12. Could look into cordons was thinking about a couple my self couple random pics off google
  13. sort of an unspoken thing really ? Surely if some one is coming up the street blasting people and knifing them and you have a gun in the cabinet your not going to rush to the kitchen for a rolling pin
  14. Car bike racks are great but its just the hassle factor. It only takes a minute to pop on but its still a pain by the time you get it out the shed and get the straps all tangled though you do get some that clamp on the tow hitch. Then when you get where your going you have to take it off and stick it in the car and then out and back on unless it locks some how. Then you have the wheels off option which is still a pain even though it only takes seconds and then you got oily bits to stuff in your car. So that leaves the folder. Never tried one but I do keep my eyes open for one because i think
  15. I know one thing cool and calm wins the day. Dogs pick up on stress,excitement a mile away and you can end up with the opposite of what your looking for he says
  16. Every thing looks good to me including your mrs though seriously your veg all looks to be thriving. Most of my stuff as a rule has that struggling look about it How did you cook your pigeon ? Ha it is a terrible pic of the Mrs ! I roasted it with onions and sweet potato, did that beets with onion balsamic vinegar and honey, every thing this year is going well I think it's the duck muck I got it was 4 years old and black yes good manure or home made compost seems key. I tipped one of my daleks out one year and popped spuds in it and they thrived compared to the others

  18. You are lucky you have a nice clean slate. Consistency seems key which is harder than sounds at least for me. Don't let bad habits start by not put the dog in a position to cock up if you help it. Don't have him walking perfect one day then let him lax the next day. Some thing I all ways do. Even today walking across the fields dog in heel behind but he was sloping out the back and kept stopping and looking across the field. I had plenty of warning but just just kept calling him on instead popping lead back on. Sure enough off he went like a rocket across the field as he knows there is sme tim
  19. This patches of strawberries is all green so far. Been chopping runners off but the main patch is more fruit I put some netting over the main ones as the old birds been helping them selves bit too much broccoli looking good lets hope it stays that way was worried i lost a lot of parsnips to slugs when they were small but they have come good. Only done two rows I grow way to many as a rule the old comfrey for me toms. Shame I left it there still running. Just hope it don't rain or fall over I was thinking of you today dido. I had some spuds t
  20. I was guilty of that walked, ran my pup every night to knacker him out. Didn't do him any harm but I would been better off spending time training. I got him in the habit of going to fields every night and belting around then spent the next 3 years trying to teach him not too
  21. looks fine to me I don't get any more and mine are in the ground
