    sounds like a good plan

    I think until they reach a certain experience level you need to reward the marks every time and even then as much as you can. So basically have a mooch where a mark is not likely not easy I know or as you say take a ferret but again not practical in the evenings. With my terrier I used to ferret some right pain in the ass places on my own rather than drag him away until he got to the point where it was so ingrained I didn't have to worry much. But I suspect a lurcher will be much easier to go off the idea

    you can be the best parents in the world and your kids can still turn out a pain in the ass. They all have there own personalities good or bad and just go through phases

    Picked plenty of veg today the daughter is staying in a university village and sharing with others. The kitchen looks like its been nuked so we got her a slow cooker for her room which she keeps chugging away with stews and casseroles so I have to keep her supplied with veg. She has the best smelling room there Gladiator parsnips definitely stick with them next year Need to get me onions sorted next year this years were like marbles but they keep really well unlike a couple big ones I bought from tesco which lasted bout 2 weeks On the look out for some raspberry canes n

    Just a couple of cabbage and few spouts today the fridge is well stocked at the moment. red cabbage not doing to bad and well ventilated thanks to the slugs plenty of cabbage waiting in the wings broadbeans just about standing up I raised the netting today and I might have to support them good old club root on the veg from today. These had a handful of lime in the holes when planted out and did reasonable anyway but I will try the washing liquid next time as mentioned in this thread by tc be nice to see things reach there full potential

    Stupid idea they should come down on them harder not go easier The amount of it that goes on is surprising once you start to mix in them circles.

    Try find a place you can get them up against a good hedge/fence they can't get in in a hurry rather than just cover they can hit at speed

    My grandmother used to make a crunchy suet pudding to go in soups/stews it was baked in the oven golden brown crispy top and fluffy inside perfect with a stew / soup I have never really found the recipe but it was basically a baked dumplin only the shape of a cake. I must look it up This looks like it could be it very filling too http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8476/jills-gg-roast-suet-pudding

    Hi Paul I would like a read if you have it please

    Planted some garlic today from bulbs I saved they had some whopping cloves so that will save a couple of quid Also planted out some Durham early cabbage. I seemed to have filled one plot all ready with various bits. I got the idea for salsify off that Victorian garden program on youtube and I remember the guy saying the cooks used to moan about preparing it and I can see why now

    There is some rust terry but its slugs on the leeks this year what has been the biggest problem. Been a bad year for slugs nothing is safe they are munching through my carrrots now the sods

    Plenty of toms there gnipper shame we can't get the buggers in august when its salad time. Any rust on your leeks John no matter where I plant mine I get some but it don't seem to hinder them too much

    Get plenty in the freezer all ways handy for cooking. I was surprised how long they kept going for Just as they are or prepared in some way? I did look into passata but it's a load of mider to make. I just deskinned a few mashed them up and threw in the freezer to lob into bolognese or what ever but I am sure there is a proper way. Not really worried about few pips
