  1. Ok thanks for the info. Was a time you would get nice white frosts in october but not so much now a days
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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 ?
  6. 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
  7. Some nice stuff there are you not doing any winter veg ? Must be a nice camera too
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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 ?
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Yes of course your right but your choosing the net and setting
  19. 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
  20. Setting I would say the net needs to be in the right place at the right time in the right conditions. I think if you get that right even a poor net will catch (not well but it will ) compared to a nice quality hand made net made by any of the skilled makers on here if you set it in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong conditions you wont catch or are unlikely. Saying that if you don't try you won't find out what are the right conditions. Like any thing put the hours in and it will come I still wear L plates mind this will be my second season coming up
  21. Makes sense baw but a quick google takes me to this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2342045/120billion-money-drain-EVERY-year-The-astonishing-Whitehall-waste-send-British-family-annual-luxury-holiday.html Surprising what goes where
  22. All comes down to money this country seems really bad and putting it in the right place. Nhs for example the wife was in hospital the other day two nurses run ragged on a heart ward no spare beds, one nurse jumping in her car to go 50 miles to another hospital where she was needed. The wife couldn't have test needed because they won't pay for the guy to work weekends. Going back to the army they spend millions training them but them seem to have to rely on charity when they leave which is not right. If you want to build some thing stupid or help another country here have a few million. I don'
  23. A positive mark all ready that's a cracking start like a duck to water. Looks great too
  24. Few more goodies today Plenty of blanching going on at the moment
