Patiance!! You'll probably find that once they get going, then they will go berserk. You'll probably start with loads of male flowers, then the fruiting female flowers won't be far behind. This is about the right time of year for things to be happening,......but who knows with this weird wheather?

Last week i watered a melon.

Hello Davie, not wanting to p**s on your fireworks, but we acquired some Koi (12 " + long) & the buggers eat any thing that gets in the pond, apart from frogs. We don't have Waterboatmen, Pondskaters or any other such pondlife. They ate our Lilly, & other aqua plants. However, they can ...

All our weeds have drowned now, .......... in fact, the surface water in our garden is above the level of water in our fishpond....... but then again i suppose it would be as our pond is at ground level

A couple of years ago, i started a thread on Quittin' Smoking............. i've just done 2 weeks without a ciggie (this time round), so will let you know if i'm going to be one of those crashing ex-smoking bores who criticises everyone else!! :iconbiggrin: I know, that's why I started this one for...

I've just come back from taking our Sadie for a walk thro' the village and totally forgot to take a bag. All the way i'm thinking "please Sadie, noooo"...... luckily she did'nt, but i don't know what i would have done if she had......

Pathways tend to occur naturally as suits the plot. Keep asking the questions, as there will always ...

thanks

My Jackie found a recipe for this, but it seemed a bit watery....... just seemed to consist of 2 bulbs, dried & fresh thyme, & bayleaves. Any alternatives? We do like our garlic!

Potato scab is generally caused by a combination of dryness & too much lime content in the soil. Maybe a good dollop of peat-based compost would do the trick next year?

Thanks all. I've borrowed a solar powered sonic thingy from a neighbour, so i'll give it a few days. If that does'nt work, then i'm going to train one of our local crows.......... to use a 12-bore!!

10 minutes with a couple of carrier bags then.

........ not the one on the end of my nose, but the little bugger that has just moved into our back garden. So far, not too much of a problem, as it is only tunneling down one side. But sod's law it will soon be moving across to the veg patches. Any ideas for catching/discouraging etc? (apart from b...
