I live in Leeds if any nearer for you and have room for more chickens in my D.I.Y shed-coop.

Know how you feel. I am plagued by wasps nests each year. They build one in the step at the front door (despite my attempts at cementing it) and a couple in back garden. I clad myself in 'C.S.I' garb of several jumpers , hats and rubber gloves and spray the nest with that foam stuff and run away ver...

Don't know any quiet birds. All mine carry on alarming when showing off after laying an egg! Had a few comments from my neighbours.
Are there any breeding sites that could point you in the right direction?

Good Luck.

Fantastic and well done.

My mum swears by shaved bars of soap sprinkled on her garden.

Love the colours.
You seen the price of those handbags with felt flowers on or those felt flower brooches?
Well done Susiwaa.

Here, here...i make jars and jars of chutneys and jams from foraged stuff, what i've grown or what people give me. I too find it relaxing and therapeutic. Although my daughter and i don't eat all of it i give loads away or sell them at charity coffee mornings.
Keep it up everyone

Hello and welcome

Hello and well done so far.

I think one of the Gardeners World chaps sowed peas by the handful too.
Not in my garden as mice, slugs and hens decimate most things. More netting anyone?

The house idea of planting them looked great. A change from the willow idea. Good Luck.

Great article and mag. Thanks.

Must have to plant loads though

Didn't i read somewhere about planting swede or turnip? Couch grass doesn't grow near them?
