  1. Eagerness to please I think and it thinks its what you want. Not sure about the second part
  2. Cheers folks after the initial onslaught when you take these plots on and there neck deep in weeds they don't take a massive amount of work just a matter of little and often so it seems. Not a great deal to do at the moment the odd few weeds and the ground is full of winter veg. Need to get the broad beans going as they did well over wintering last year
  3. Some nice calabrese heading up chuffed with the parsley can't beat a home made sauce few bits to take home the sweet corn are my mates his all ways sharing his gluts with me which is dam nice of him
  4. I used to get a lot of satisfaction from selling the odd fur as a kid and looked forward my cheque from cobble dick . Had a little trap line I used to check regular all good fun thought I was davy crockett
  5. I have a couple of nice jills at the moment. A little white one that gets down to business and recently winkled rabbits out of some big warrens on her own. She is the type that will go any where even in the yard she will climb up or down any thing compared to my sandy jill who is not quite so confident. But last year year I saw 3 rabbits go to ground and she bolted them one at a time and turned round and went back in till all 3 were out I quite impressed by the way she went about it. Also both are no problem to pick up when working and don't mess about
  6. Just persist with the house training and keep carrying it out every time you catch it in the act they soon learn. As for other training just keep at little and often day in day out while young before you know it it will be 12 months old. Don't let any little habits form now that will be a right pain later for example chasing the hoover might be fun when it s a pup but do you want it hanging off the hoover for the next 14 years things like that. Once jabbed get out with stock as much as you can and more to add I am learning the ropes my self there are lots on here with dogs to a very high
  7. Can't watch it any more its been done to death
  8. Just tried this made few jars for my daughter as we moved her into university lodgings yesterday. Miss the hell out of her. It has turned out perfect what a treat better than the normal kerfuffle I have going on
  9. Cracking stuff Terry, would like to grow some parsnips are they difficult? Do you need a lot of room to grow them? I was dreading them to be honest after reading about there poor germination but I didn't have any issues it was beetroot and carrots I struggled with. I made a small hole every approx slightly less than a foot and threw 3 or 4 seeds in and if they all took just broke off the smaller ones and left the best one. They have quite big tops so need a bit of room so it seems here are some of them
  10. Pulled my first parsnip today was expecting silly forked thing but got nice surprise and a good size too. Also got a nice swede Was going to do some digging but the ground is like iron at the moment. Now I have given up on my tomatoes and stopped watering them I seem to be getting a few nice ones too they must like a bit of neglect and as for runner bean well I could feed half the country given up picking them now
  11. over cooked it dogger test for setting point much earlier
  12. Can't believe you can nearly chop some ones arm off and not have the whole police force descend on you
  13. Try this one of the best I have had http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/263226-stuffed-rolled-rabbit/?hl=%2Bstuffed+%2Brabbit done worry if you make a hash of the deboning doesnt have to be perfect
  14. This is the variety I used http://www.mr-fothergills.co.uk/Vegetable-Seeds/Courgette-Seed/Courgette-Black-Beauty-Organic_2.html#.VBXTH_ldUnQ only had 2 plants and the dam fridge was full. If I have any seeds left I can post you some not sure if I do though need to have a sort. I could save some off the plant but I think cross pollination is an issue
  15. Have they been productive for you ? I am glad to see mine starting to die down had lots went to waste and there's still a few on the plant that have gone huge
  16. Just off out to deliver some more runners and beetroot to a couple of permissions at this rate I can see a few people moving house they will be sick of the bloody things But its the thought that counts
  17. Jesus christ surely the police will do some thing
  18. My first decent carrots today and pulled few beetroot to store in compost can't leave them in the ground slugs would riddle them other wise Threw plastic cover over the strawberry bed to shut the weeds up see if it works as well as it did last year
  19. I will post it on as soon as I am done

  21. Day time rabbits ain't no picnic for sure so don't be disheartened . Did she show any interest in any holes ?
