    Nice box of veg today Surprised with the carrots they are quite tidy didn't have much hope for them as only half seem to have germinated but they are quite tidy Planted some black tuscan kale today looking forward to see how that does

    Yea won't be long time is flying. I am trying to be careful not to block ground off with my spring cabbages so I can get going again next year. Wife was just peeling my red spuds and not impressed with slug filled holes lots of shreaking going on

    Better than my spuds jack I dug up some of my desiree today only handful off each plant and most them full of holes but in there defence they went in very late only had 13,14 weeks. Brocolli is looking great thought sprouts seem happy row of new spuds in for christmas time not sure if I hold out much hope for me little squash swedes are battered but still healthly leeks so far so good and have two more patches following on

    ok I will give them few more weeks there is a nice chill in the air at the moment so maybe we get some traditional frosts this year on this side of december

    Still picking runners good job we like them. Had runners yesterday and a nice portion of broad beans which I planted late also courgettes. Even got a squash I spotted but it might be too late for it to develop much. Down to my last first early spuds then it is on to the desiree's reds which I am looking forward to trying. The few sprout plants I have are doing well and the purple sprouting broccoli over all is looking good. Some nibbling going on even under the scaffold netting but I can never find any thing on them. Mostly a couple around the edge. Will get some pictures up once the camera a

    I used to find half the battle was having a dog as people have said. If you know some thing is at home you know the rabbit is likely to leave first and the dog will let you know where if you don't see it your self and the ferret will follow as a rule so. I used to groan some times when I was on my own and the dog marked a difficult place but I couldn't let him down and 9 times out of 10 did it. A bell on the ferret would be very helpful too

    Ok thanks for the info. Was a time you would get nice white frosts in october but not so much now a days

    Saw loads of sloes tonight when I was getting blackberries. Is now the time to pick them ? I don't drink but fancy some sloe jam or some thing maybe. They look so tasty with the nice blue tinge to them

    Even a lurcher would need brakes as well they are not machines. But why any one would choose to burn a dog out like that I don't know. If you wanted to go all night with your mates just alternate dogs

    Great produce Jack I picked a load of runners today cleared a small cabbage patch off and replanted with spinach beet. The freezer is now jammed full and I mean jammed. Going to have to defrost the bait freezer in the shed and start filling that now Can take pictures at the moment as I lost my camera

    the wife did a tom and garlic mix chopped up on sliced toasted french stick Tel, lush get some tubs and grow in the garden That does sound nice. I will give the tubs ago I have plenty any particular variety ?
  12. terryd
    The wife wants toms next year if I got her a display like that jack she would be well happy. I have had 2 collies this year both with heads the size of an egg but what they lacked in size they made up for in taste both fork fulls

    Some nice stuff there are you not doing any winter veg ? Must be a nice camera too

    They are only kits mate. My bitch is spot on with the ferrets, I am just trying to make sure the ferrets are the same with dogs. Nothing worse than a ferreting dog getting bit by an angry stinker. very true you got them off to a great start anyway
  15. terryd
    Nice pictures there they seem to get on well. That would worry me to death though in case the ferret decided to latch onto the dog but they obviously seem to get on well

    Onions look so appetising laying like that. People down the allotments have them laying around drying out looks great. I like that green house too nice old wooden frame. Is that broccoli hiding in the bottom corner ?
  17. terryd
    Plenty of harvesting going on at the moment more runners today, pulled a row of turnips and dug few new spuds. Also a couple of small cucumbers. For dinner we had nice bass fillet new spuds and runners covered in butter. Nice self sufficient meal very tasty

    Mine in containers in the back yard have done brilliant I have filled out the freezer and they are still coming. Turn your back for 5 minutes and they seem to double in size. Ones in the allotment are just kicking off now as well

    Used to love the smell of hemp as a kid remember making the purse nets on the grandmothers kitchen door much to her annoyance. Good to see long netting videos it gives a good insight into whats what. I have a dvd here by the warrener and it shows long netting using night vision gear so a better view of what happens. I often scan my net afterwards with a torch depending where I am so I see what a hash I made of setting and make it better next time
  20. terryd
    The net just looked very tight in places where they were bouncing off more like a fence Mind you after viewing again I could be wrong.

    Once you have ridden a bike on the roads you soon see things from the other side and show cyclists more respect. Plenty of room for every one
  22. terryd
    I noticed that as well one thing I do is take my time picking the net up there is no rush and it is good to have it tidy for the next trip so you are basically working on the next trip as you stow it away

    Kizzy great dog never measured her but she was tiny. Brilliant temperament and great little worker. Lived to ripe old age as well If a rabbit was way out in a big field I just got between it and home and slipped her as the rabbit got closer but I did that with bigger dogs any way common sense. No point wasting dogs energy storming off after a rabbit miles away
  24. terryd
    Yes of course your right but your choosing the net and setting

    You could may be draw comparison with fishing. A novice angler with his £300 zipplex bass rod won't catch as many bass as an experienced angler and his odessa bass rod off ebay for twenty quid
