terryd 8,049 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Up early and took the dog for walk around the local farm to see how we looking rabbit wise for the start when the time comes. Saw a few about so some thing to look forward too and also saw a hare which are all ways thin on the ground. Collected some manure then and the poor old dog wishes I had a van A friend of the daughters gifted me a fennel bush/tree so got that planted out and few beets and other bits things are struggling a bit in the heat and no rain Picked a load of peas broad beans and goosegogs and the production line going at home had few complaints but told the wife to get on with it. Must say ambulance response times have improved and i should make speedy recovery. Got some jams done and freezing 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
