  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. over cooked it dogger test for setting point much earlier
  5. Can't believe you can nearly chop some ones arm off and not have the whole police force descend on you
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Jesus christ surely the police will do some thing
  11. 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
  12. I will post it on as soon as I am done

  14. Day time rabbits ain't no picnic for sure so don't be disheartened . Did she show any interest in any holes ?
  15. The ones we had tasted fine though not as nice as the black krim and any surplus or damaged ones I froze down for bolognese etc
  16. Dogs having fun there looking great that road looks really busy and when you get a feeling you need to do some thing because some thing bad is going to happen it normal does happen and that would be horrible

  20. Well the runners worked on one of my farmers. Rang Sunday morning to check it was ok for walk around he said beans were delicious no need to ring just go when I feel like
  21. The ones I planted through the cardboard I managed to get up roots and all then I had lots of dead root with no growth this year they seemed dead. I had put them on the fire heap but I will lob them in water and see Allan . Would save a few pennies if I could get a few going
  22. Raspberries I took over been bugging me all summer. In a raised bed chock a block with grass they just got choked so I thought today was the clean the whole thing out and use it some thing else. The rots aon the canes were just smoothered managed to recover a few to start a new bed else where and will see if I can pick some up cheap some where to fill it out will give the bed another go over and maybe use for for garlic
  23. Thanks chris nearly tempted lol but then I read this --------------------------------- The yellow-staining mushroom (Agaricus xanthodermus), for instance, which can leave you racing between basin and toilet for days on end, is easily mistaken for both the field mushroom (Agaricus campestris) and the cultivated mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), the usual white number that you buy in supermarkets. The only way to tell some lookalikes apart is to stick them on a piece of paper and check the colour of the spores that drop from their undercarriages. That's every bit as tedious as it sounds. --------
