    Well I pulled my garlic today some quite nice bulbs. Few small ones so bought them home and few whoppers so they have gone in the for seed section. All spread out on a wire rack in the shed smelling nice Would liked to have given a few more weeks but they started to get rust and I didn't want that getting across onto the onion beds as they will be around for a month or two yet

    Not really but that rhubarb is looking good would soon make a dent in that

    Got my fresh seed going to dig a trench fill with sieved soil from my compost heap and give that a whirl

    Funny you should say that I have sowed numerous lots of carrots going back upto 5 weeks and yet to see one emerge. The last few rows I covered in compost in case it was a crust blocking them but I am not hopeful. My neighbour then just slung a row in and has nice little inch high tops in no time at all. he used the same variety as me too. Very puzzling going to buy a new packet of seed tomorrow get some good old sutton seeds Very frustrating as we eat lots so wanted a good few for the winter but at this rate we will be buying them

    Got the beans iin place today left 3 behind in the back yard for seed Plenty of root in the toilet rolls I would have planted direct but I was waiting for space. Been eating cabbage like an idiot to free up room sweet corn planted out too netted the onions because some thing has been taking the tops off and in places whole onions have gone. I suspect the old corvids maybe. The slugs enjoy my lettuce too

    Did think about a cocker, however I want a dog to take ratting too. surely I can get a terrier that wont go to ground and just rats. all terriers that will exell at ratting - bushing are liable to go to ground. its sods law . That is my thinking a good worker is a good worker and will take on a rat,rabbit or a fox with equal enthusiasm so you better find a comfy spade to carry if you get a decent terrier

    I gave up using onion sets years ago as they always bolted on me. If you nip the flower stalk off and use them ASAP they are still all right to use straight away. TC They won't go to waste that is for sure I also have some grown from seed this year will be interesting to see how they fair as well

    Terry, Beetroot s a bit of a fetish of mine I have been growing the white, yellow, and striped beets for years. The white and yellow are not quite as earthy as the red beets. The white is quite robust and grows quicker than normal beetroot and they have the added advantage in that they don't bleed all over the place too. I grow the Chogia striped beet as baby beet lovely for pickling. TC Nice to grow some thing a bit different Allan I like the look of them chogia. Out of interest what vinegar do you use for pickling. I tried malt and proper pickling vinegar last year but bo
