    My grandmothers stews god knows what she put in but they were delicious and small farms with the old boys hobbling around but still making a living from there few cows and sheep. Now some rich sod owns about 5 of them and uses them for play areas ( just jealous)

    Sowed a couple of rows of Dwarf French beans this morning Cabbages are looking very healthy and pest free so far under the netting My mate on the allotment who gave me these plants told me these where courgettes but this looks like a marrow ? Surprising how quick things grow in about 6 weeks from this to this 8 yards left to dig I have sliced turf off and I will be glad to get it done

    Yh the best busher ive ever seen work was a brittany she would smash through any cover without hesitation and go on all day long but obviously always needed the extra couple of lurchers when quarry was flushed. Obviously using a dedicated busher eg: spaniel or terrier type with a couple of lurchers outside is alot more affective But thats what I was thinking if I used a bedy whippet id only need 1 other lurcher to be on the outside as the beddy whip could get out of the cover and give chase across open ground aswell (if it sees it leave the cover of course). Hypothetically it would never

    Only had the one as a lad and as above really great little dog. Best bit was she was so easy to have around and extremely light and portable so no problem to just pop under your arm if you had to negotiate a horrible fence. Lot of dog in a very small package One in my avatar by the way

    Fitness is just training (which takes lot of dedication) but it amazes me the speeds they reach takes guts that. Think they can clear 65mph I need a nappy change if I get past 30

    i paid the man that had it £100 for the shed , greenhouse and polytunnel They look in good nick too. I am sharing a small shed at the moment there was a slight issue where the guy that had my plot hadn't actually given it up. Poor old boy had just been too ill and they assumed he didn't want it. Bit awkward when he turned up I had to set the wife on him. She charmed him and by the time he left he was showing me all his little secret tips. I offered to lend him a hand to keep his second plot going if he wants to carry on

    £9 thats good running water and all. Mine is 20 maybe 25 next year. Still a bargain though you don't get much for 25 quid now a days. Might put a green house on mine over the winter

Starting to recall stuff my granddad taught me as a kid. I remember him getting me to made sheds for the goats out of weaving hazel for the w

    Would love to start September but there will be neck deep cover around here especially with the season growing wise seemingly running at least a month behind this year. Also so not having a dog it really would be a needle in a haystack job

    I prefer the hazel end pins so far or at least until I have a disaster one of these nights. In the game fair at the weekend they were selling end pins 10 quid for a pair black with square ends. I picked one up and it made a big clank when it tapped the others felt horrible so I will stick with my hazel.

    Plenty do for sure got there last night to do a couple of hours of digging. But had to do some weeding, earth the spuds up, Plant some Brussels given to me. By the time I got squared away it was time to come home. Looking good apart from couple of broad beans that looked like they were nipped off and left

  23. terryd
    and if you didn't like it not like it would go to waste anyway I guess you could just lengthen your net or chop a bit off and use it for some thing else

    Looking good darbo well organised. I enjoying looking at people allotments I often have a nose around the ones next to mine when its quiet nice to see how people do things. I did have grand plans of nice longs rows on mine but I have basically planted what ever I can as I have cleared the ground. Looking forward to a nice cabbage. Remember as a kid granddad sending me out to check the cabbages see if the hearts were firm enough to pull one.
