Re: LucasWith the warming (dry) spring weather, Lucas is once again becoming more an outdoor cat but he does seem to enjoy his little kip on my lap after eating his breakfast. He gets a bit upset when I have to turf him off because I need to get up for whatever reason - as soon as I (gently) lift him off me ...
Re: Goats that's lovely news
Re: Goats poor mum expected to go for a walk in the middle of labour ... good to learn all worked out well in the end
Is baby goat a boy or a girl?
Re: Welding Still, the bonus is, I can get two pieces of metal to stay together by use of welder and rod without burning or blinding myself. )t' call this a practice run (or a new career in metal sculpture!) Well done for trying (I have my limitations of what I will have a go at - I love my drills, jigsaw, san...
Re: Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!The link works (and google translated it to English) however, the cookie consent did not give you the option of selected or deny consent - I wasn't about to let a foreign site access to my internet viewing and storing data so I'm afraid I didn't read it. If you could copy / paste some of the article...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog! I googled and it said November is the time to do that. Actually you can do it in late winter (February / early March) while it is still dormant / just about to start growing (easier to see the leaf buds when splitting so that each root piece has at least one) though as you say, probably too late no...
Re: Learning Guitar Biggest issue at present is with the warm weather and light evenings we are working later so it is gone 10 at night before sitting down and getting some practice in. This obviously means less time to learn, still 15/20 minutes is better than none at all. have you considered early morning instead of...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog! My rhubarb is very spindly this year. Maybe it needs dividing, I'll have to google. Lack of moisture is hardly a problem here!!! All our road edges are running streams. Not particularly dry last summer either. maybe the surplus water is the possible reason for spindly stalks - rhubarb need very fer...
Re: The Lost Book of Herbal RemediesI looked into herbal remedies (that is, what you can grow yourself or pick wild) and in a few cases, there is a fine line between a simple remedy with no harmful effects and some bordering into medicinal (if you buy over the counter medicine, it has to be regulated so you know the dosage whereas ext...
Re: Storksis it normal to see them arrive in March? You mentioned in August that the storks left early. I just wondered if the trend was more a climate change thing (many birds and animals have been changing their migration patterns) than weather related.
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog! Not sure about Vivaldi spuds but I thoroughly enjoy listening to Nigel Kennedy playing Vivaldi! {rofwl} funny Have you tried Vivaldi potatoes ? Lab studies have shown 'Vivaldi' to be lower in calories and carbohydrates than many other popular potato varieties 'Vivaldi' is a Second Early variety pro...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog! Mine occasionally were found by rats. Then lately the little slugs made tunnels all over them, so they were like sponges. So I've given them up. A lot really depends on the variety - some are more resistant to slug damage (flesh tend to be firm), and how long they remain in the soil (an early varie...
Re: Compulsory registration for all keepers of birds in the UKThere has been several views made about keeping back yard chickens indoors during the height of the avian flu.
