Gosh Paul hope your family are all well again, I worry about these sorts of things, as myself and eldest daughter have some (serious) health problems, but they are well managed and we are generally never struck down as bad as we think, in fact in the most part less so than the rest of the family. I ...

My Raspberries have produced lots of new fruiting canes, I've mulched (and watered! ) and they look like they are doing fairly well.

Hope you get a bumper crop, and we get a downpour soon..

Watered and watered and watered and watered and watered and watered and watered and watered and watered....

you get the point lol!!

ack! Comfrey! My allotment is over run with the stuff! I use it to mulch my potatoes and squashes, and also soak it to make a liquid fertilizer. I haven't quite resorted to drinking the flowers in my tea, but I am tempted to let some of it flower, as the 'old boys' down the allotments have a fit ove...

Hello Catwoman, and thanks for teaching me something new today, I had never even heard of one before let alone knew what it was...looks like an amazing piece of equipment.

I have a constantly breaking down machine and have had two new drums fitted in the last two years. They truly are a thing of beauty aren't they?

I made my ...

hello!

I've added you (both) to my blog list.

I agree with the regular postings part, once you get into the swing of it, it's a really enjoyable process.

Oh and well done for posting it on here - you've got it dated and a whole world of witnesses if anyone tries to nick it now I didn't think of that! Thanks :cooldude: :cooldude: Glad you both think that it sounds like a valid idea, I'll keep steadily working on it whenever I have the time too. I do ...

I know that some of you out there are already published (dave! andy! :icon_smile: ) and the long and short of it is, I have an idea for a book, and I have quite simply been writing and illustrating it as much for my own benefit as anyone elses, but encouraging words from himself has made me wonder i...
