So, Tell Us, What Are Ye All At In The Veg Garden?
jok replied to JohnGalway's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Might be an idea to share, on here, ways of combatting the various pests and problems we all have trying to grow vegetables. I'll start off by saying that the Alium Leaf moth is a huge problem. As of lately, an insecticide called Bandhu was available but has been taken off the market. What has replaced it for the domestic gardener? Mice. The little blighters are under the peas and just about everywhere else. How to cope? Ants in the peas. Powder or something else? Cabbage white butterfly? Yes netting is obvious but can we do anything else? Slugs and snails? As of next year the blue pellets wi -

Eh up son. Just having my first boiling of new potatoes with cabbage and lamb shank. To be fair things are looking good. All the usual salad bits and bobs going great. Greenhouse flourishing. Put in a lot of leek plants this morning and another row of peas. Unfortunately we have the dreaded Alium Leaf Miner among the onions so bad news there. Set out a range of brassicas but the pigeon soon sorted them out. Also trying a few new herb varieties which should make my faggots very tasty. The new potatoes are a new on e on me , Jazzy. 2nd early salad variety. -
I'll admit I tried my hardest but the fckg just hopped on to the roof. No contest there. Jok

Unusual visitor.

You are a numb nuts WK. I actually think I'm quite pleased to see the thing bearing in mind where I live. She sits there pruning herself not causing any problem to anyone and to be fair, my grand daughter thinks it's wonderful, so much so that she is starting a school project about it. Alternately I agree, air rifle is a better option. Ffs. Don't know where to go with this one. Twitchers might turn up lol. I'm laughing my balls off thinking about the possible consequences. Jok

Know what pal. My. First thought was net her and relocate. Then , second thought, relocate to where? Tried the landing net route anyway and discovered how well these buggers fly. Straight onto my roof. Ffs. Not going to catch her then so decided to leave well alone. Only trouble is that she has become a thing of interest outside my house which means unwelcome attention. Jok.

I wondered if the Dolphin in Sutton on Sea might gets a mention. Certainly one of the most popular chip shops I've ever been to and the meal is great. Long ques however and if you want a sit down it takes some time. Well worth a visit. Jok.

Advice on training my 8month old Bull X on the lamp
jok replied to JMxyrz's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I always remember a saying when I started. 'Train the trainer, not the dog.' What a wonderful piece of advice that was. Jok. -
Bloody hell. Hello. Nice to see you out and about. Mentioned you you a couple of weeks back. Some guy on here looking for rabbiting down there. No cats but good luck on your search. Jok.

Oh dear. Quite a frightening scenario. It's certainly going to affect us all in this neck of the woods. Jok.

Looks like the one on the right swallowed the fly and you had to go fishing again lol. Nice fish. I've been smoking mine with surprisingly good results and the lads down the local are loving it. Jok.

About time we rekindled this topic. It's all gone quiet when really there is a he'll of a lot going on. Jok. -
Bleak. If you can find them. Probably as rare as an eel. Jok.

Greyman . Small world. Friend of mine does a bit ar Fisherwick. Also done a bit there myself. Jok.

2 X Fox Inn pubs around Tamworth pal. One at Hopwas near the woods that back onto Whittington Barracks and the other in the village of Warton, which, sadly is now closed. I'm guessing the former. If you feel it might be worth a whirl, I can highly recommend Coton and Hopwas Club for a bit of good banter and damned good beer. Jok.

Strange but true. We have a little village , near Tamworth, called Dordon. No 1 fact the local pub was called the Cuckoos Rest and No 2 fact the locals are dubbed cuckoos. Now I'm not suggesting that things went on in another's nest but hey ho eh. Lol. Jok.

Sorry Greyman it just read right when I thought it. Jok.

Blooming heck. I bought some of them fancy leather britches when last over and never found one of them things. Lol. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to send it to me ASAP. Jok.
-
I think your on something. Calling a cuckoo lol. They are possibly one of the most solitary birds you could possibly find. I reckon you have collared doves flying round you at 20ft ffs. Get some pictures if they are that close. Next to Greyman it takes some believing. Jok.

Seen a lot more wild chicks in Nottingham than that Ben lol. Remember when the ration was six to one. Happy days. Jok.
