  1. ardglass harbour is the exact same yea it was a novelty to start but that soon wore off when he stripped a 100 yards of line off and surfaced with my bass the cheeky fooker I gave up after that and just used to pack up and move
  2. blight free so far jok but only a matter of time lol. Yea the dreaded whites won't be far away. I hate them sods which is why i net up but still get some damage
  3. I hooked a seal once that learnt to ambush me as I reeled fish in. It would see me setup from bloody miles away then suddenly appear just in front of me and wait. It was a race to beach the fish before it intercepted and one time I failed. That put a bend in me rod
  4. yep will do never thought of that
  5. Any clues what is going on here with my old jill ? It started as what looked like a cut of some sort. One day it is red and bloody then the next scabbed over and I think great its heeling. But it has turned into more of a protruding lump now with what looks like a hole in the middle. Picture is not the best but she wouldn't keep still. Fine other wise carrying plenty of weight and playing about. Best take her to the vet tomorrow unless any one has any ideas as it looks bad today but was dry yesterday. She is a good old girl
  6. lol jok you just named the two that don't work well in modules. I have never tried beetroots like that before all ways sown direct and I have this year too but also tried some off in modules and to be honest so far it does seem to agree with them. Plus you dont get gaps and you can slot them in where ever you see fit. All my brassica I start off in pots and get them well developed before planting out. I do sow swede direct as well
  7. she would look great in jeans and jumper for god sake whats with the I am off swimming look
  8. yea a beard and red lippy just don't go
  9. I wouldn't get far with out nets around here despite having old rocket arse
  10. I would be tempted to throw a bag or two of compost in at least the top level as the manure maybe a bit chunky initially. Just to make it easier to sow small stuff if thats your plan. Even with the allotment I am finding it beneficial to start lots of stuff in modules after watching old charles dowding lol So once the plants are ready for planting does he split them or just whack them in the ground . whacks them in the ground and he a clip there some where of say 4 or 5 beetroot in a clump with no apparent loss of size and he just twists out what he wants.

  12. This should give you some ideas http://www.realseeds.co.uk/Monthlysowing.html loads to be sowing yet. As for what soil well rotted manure sounds good to me.
  13. certainly has sounds like she found a fox
  14. Your right Doug just watching dogs work in all there forms is the best and your certainly in the right place for it. I was tip toeing around a farm earlier with the air rifle and the dog on a lead. I even got a buzz out that seeing him sneaking along and watching his nose go. Zip is doing you proud and good pictures too
  15. remember him well he made blue peter well worth a watch with shep. RIP
  16. Thats a lovely setup devon and a beautiful home you have I have just made an idiot of self. I had some celeriac seeds I threw in a pot and they all came up. So potted on and treated lovingly and planted out. A few of them looked a bit different and looked like they may have bolted so I posted on one of the garden forums and he general consensus seems to be I have been growing weeds shoot me now Bit puzzled though sowed a big handful in a pot of proper compost so weed free and they all seemed to come up. Potted on and away to go. I may have got the odd weed in there but dear oh dear
  17. yea I was going to get up at 5 to go fishing but heard that lot going and thought nah
  18. don't blame a dog for its owner. At least thats what my dog says lol
  19. spuds are romping away. Had a couple of blight alerts but fingers crossed. broadbeans wont be long in the back ground. Looking forward to them lettuce ready lovely colour of green in the no dig parsnip off to good start beet root are slow to get going this year was looking forward to getting them on a plate
  20. I think one thing that helps is to make sure there's no shelter what so ever with in ten miles lol
  21. yes hoax. The daughter had an email to stay away sent from the uni. At least nowadays it is easier to get the word out quick. The news makes sad watching at the moment. They were listing the dead on the news and me and mrs both looked at each with the red old eyes. Terrible
  22. Thanks Ken nothing open about that. But I guess at least it looks flat so you can walk through it. Rather than a big hedge row you can't easily get through. To get back and forward. Hot old day for it too. You earned your steak today lol
  23. do you get many spots you can't do on your own ? I know my self some times its a pain if you can't see the other side. Even though if you can see the dog at least it can tell you whats happening. Be interested to see a couple of pics what your dealing with. I am intrigued
  24. Well thats a nice life I must say Sure its not all roses mind when you wake up and its pissing down and you got to crawl around in the stingers all day
