    Sowed some peas today and dipped in paraffin then buried the netting around them to try keep the mickys out sowed parsnip, chard and row of carrots. Plot number one is pretty sorted now. Got the old mower out and gave the path a blast Plot number two is bit more challenging with the heavy old clay. Turned half over but trying to pick out bindweed and dandelion root out a solid chunk of clay is fun but we will get there. The straw berry bed leaves a lot to be desired going to be a hands and knees weeding job to make sense of that

    Been trying to walk mine in areas he won't mark as I hate not rewarding a mark at this stage with a bolt. Been messing around any bushes with a net and to keep the dog occupied. Take him fishing and down the allotment and training little bits. Just took him for a few miles on the bike. Been doing a bit of pigeon shooting with him as well but now every time he sees a pigeon he thinks we need to do some thing

    excuse my ignorance did the xray show the rupture ? only reason I ask is when mine did some thing to his and the vet couldn't say what really xray showed nothing. He was lead bound for months and it affected him for ages but now over a year later he seems %100 for the time being anyway

    Yes cracking weather unfortunately work all day then busy this evening with the dog so it will be tomorrow for me for a plot visit. Got a couple of 1 ton builders bags. I read some where about chucking your weeds and compost stuff in them whack a couple of squash on top then when they are done a bit of winter veg. Then cover for a month or two and you got nice compost. In reality sure I will end up with a 1 ton bag full of stingers and other weeds

    My old JR in my younger days on the final trip to the vet he was on the passenger seat and I leaned across to cheer him up and he gave me a big smacker on the cheek and a head butt lol that was his thing. After the deed was done I drove round our old haunts taking in the memories. I still go to them places now and the memories come back

    dug the bulk of both mine with the spade just need it to dry so i can rotavate. I did rotavate a bit then it just set like concrete so need to wait. My old mate hasn't touched his yet just dug over and he won't touch it until the soil is right then when he does I will guarantee his stuff will over take every one else's

    lol no perfect nothing here pie I am the first to admit when i make a pigs ear of things which tends to be a weekly occurrence In fact some honesty when it comes to folks and there dogs as far as training goes would be helpful and we could all learn from it

    The first plot i had terry had club root i have tried rhubarb and it did not make a difference to be honest but no harm in having a go. i just made sure the ph level of the planting area was ph7.0 - 8 adding lime as required. Liming wont kill the spores but can aid in them not germinating. Lime 6 weeks before planting and then 2 weeks before. Cheers John I had manured over winter so for the most part that has rotted well. I did have a ph of 7 last year will check again and lime if needed

  24. terryd

  25. terryd
