  1. bet that could be moulded into a cracking little ferreting dog
  2. Maybe I don't understand how it works but at the end of the day are mp's not going to just vote the way they feel personally about things unless there was such a clammer they thought it might costs them there jobs in the long run and there nice wage. But because a percentage are pro hunting and a percentage against there is also a large percent that don't care one way or the other so that gives them scope to just vote the way they feel. Not that we shouldn't try and claw back as much as we can what ever it maybe
  3. No club root with this row by the look of it toms look surprisingly healthy gave currant bushes good weeding going to treat them to few barrow loads of compost from my pile and some manure and layer with cardboard to keep the grass away todays pickings
  4. I will be trying the rhubarb stem in the hole trick as well its quite fun finding ways around these problems. I see there are a few varieties of club root resistant seeds so I will try them next year too
  5. yea thats true I just didn't want the worry if some thing did happen and I ran up a big bill about them paying out.
  6. good read for my issue here http://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/grow-brassica-clubroot.php I may whack that load of manure on let it rot for few months then lime
  7. I tried washing liquid for it but the plants didn't do well and only a couple survived though that could have been any thing. I did stick loads of lime around them last year that helped a bit but still hit and miss. I hear some folks use mole hill soil and basically plant in that
  8. sowed a row of parsley and swede today found out what the tree at the end of my plot is seems to be a plum apparently a lot of dead branches on it though so not happy about some thing. I have neglected it mind as I thought it was ornamental so I will weed it and give some manure maybe put in some more peas and dwarf beans started on the kestrel now so some cracking chips for tea these gave up the ghost so yanked them out today then saw why poxy club root the bane of my life tart or jam undecided superb lettuce this year they all come
  9. Turns out he can walk on water which could be handy I guess not quite sure what was going on here
  10. I took mine for a two mile jog tonight which is bugger all but it made him puff and you could tell he didn't really want to be doing it the lazy bugger lol
  11. Mine doesn't seem to have much wind when his just running about. But I am pretty sure once the season kicks off and I build him up slowly on the lamp that is when he will get really fit. Before that I will get him jogging with me or on the bike it wont be the same as lamping but it all helps.
  12. bloody pristine setup that going well better than my slap dash efforts. Only tonight I raised the netting on a row of peas and as I took the last bit off the whole row fell over like a set of dominos. I had some how forgot to support them and didn't realise it was the netting holding them up Managed to cobble them back upright
  13. do a search through for any thing in particular you need help with plenty of stuff to read. I am rubbish at it but I think you need consistency, fairness and firmness at times and dedication as it could take years but it don't matter oh and plenty of patience and don't lose your rag. Some thing I should try
  14. Nice start if I had access to holes like that I don't think I could resist either lol
  15. They are arses aren't they! Good job it's not calculated on a 'no claims bonus' like the motor! We'd all be screwed!! lol! The vet had a word with them and now they amended the policy and have only excluded his one leg so thats some thing
  16. his 15 months got injured last year and spent most the winter house bound. So this coming season is his first. He gave a couple of squeaks out of frustration or excitement. I aint that bothered his not the yappy sort
  17. What do you tell your wife ? I just sank 5 pints of Guinness now where's me dinner oh and can you put another hole in me belt

    Real hero incredible stuff and the best bit he survived. How these people can go around killing innocents is beyond me soldier on soldier at least you are actually fighting a war . Gaining territory or defeating the opposition but killing innocents gains you nothing
  19. now that makes sense
  20. nothing wrong with lycra makes for comfy cycling. I don't wear it my self just my normal work clothes and a wicking t shirt. Don't sweat nowadays just pop on a fresh t shirt in work and good to go Tour de france soon folks us cyclists get all inspired then so look out
  21. Parsnips looking healthy one of my favourite veg to grow nothing seems to bother them and they seem reliable runners starting to climb sweetcorn starting to go plenty of mange tout not a slug to be seen in the spuds which is bloody marvellous it was doing my head last year
  22. He let me have a layin till 7 this morning so up and about a quick cuppa then down the beach before it warmed up. Plenty of scent about in the dunes but little chance of catching any thing with so much cover for the rabbits. Recall is coming on good been using some extra nice treats and he will now spin around even if going full belt away from me. Unless there's scent involved. But we are building on it. Driving back then a hare came trotting around the corner on the verge. I had forgotten how big then can get I thought it was a fox initially as it was very
