EH? Whats the Forks?
I'd be inclined to do a little dance or possibly stand and take a bow!

I prefered Penfold , he was the one with all the brains!

Ooh you lucky thing HB !

They are actually envious. They wish they could get to the shops by bus but live in the wrong area. The mums pointing you out are saying ,look that lady is waiting for a BUS ,you know those big lorry things with lots of faces looking out. We never had a car when i was young and went everywhere by pu...

Ours are quite good .I dug up 2 plants and there were too many to have for tea yesterday. They are Orla from the organic gardening catalogue.
We are in Kent though so probably they've been in a bit longer and I did cloche them to start with.

Its to keep out the sun and let the potato plant us its shoots as roots (grows the tubers at the end).

Yuk sounds like the bloke my OH was arresting for drink driving . He said 'I pay your wages!' My OH said 'no you dont ,I do this for free' (he is a special constable). Good man Stonehead! Good thing he didnt know about the croft near you that was being sold by Auction or you might have ended up gett...

Lovely pictures! We don't see a lot of young birds as we have loads of cats in the area ,one of them is ours and he has been known to bring in his catch. I was a retouching artist 20 years ago. Now its all done digitally. My OH was a duper but now does the same job I did but he does it on computer a...

We had golf ball sized turnips yesterday (thinnings), a few new potatoes (not quite ready) and Rhubarb (2nd crumble this year).
Chard,lettuce ,radish and rocket.
Its such a lovely feeling going down the veg patch and coming in with goodies.

We've had it too

we had tea tree doggy shampoo for ours.She did smell much less when we changed her food too.She used to eat the tinned stuff for dogs with delicate tums but got on much better with the dried dog food ,even her mess was less smelly.

Ive got mostly beds as I started off reading John Seymour and thats what he recommended. I'd like to eventually have all deep beds as the 2 little ones I've got are doing very well. The potatoes are in rows though and the beans as it seems more practical for harvesting.

candy cruncher is my favourite on Linux,its a sliding puzzle thingummy with sweets.
Frozen bubble on my mobile phone,pop the bubbles before you run out of time.
align it on the pc a bit like connect 4 only more pieces,colours and you must clear the board before it fills.
Sudoku on paper.

Bonfire ash as potash. Nettle tea (nettles soaked in water,very smelly) as tomato feed. Comfrey is supposed to be very good. Grass clippings as a mulch. Vegetable peelings in a trench for when you plant runner beans(you can start the trench in winter and add to it). Old leaves. Cold tea on house pla...

I tried just egg shells and lost a lot of plants so I decided, I'd rather buy slug pellets and have some veg than love the slugs but have no veg...
