I've not posted for a while as all has been well. However I could do with some advice? My 2 year old silkie Brenda has been walking funny this past week, kind of unbalanced. I noticed his morning 1 eye was shut so I checked her out and found what looked like a grass seed lodged in the corner of her ...

thank you :) I have found a shop in Chester which sells it, and a friend at work will collect for me this week. Thanks again!

Hi, I haven't a clue! haha I got some seed packets that said 'mixed lettuce' and that was what grew. :)

Thank you :) It isnt quite finished. OH still has to put some concrete edging on and trim the plastic sheeting. I cant wait to get started on my veggie patch :)

Having seen a post on DTL a while back, someone had had raised bedding built from timber frames, I decided I'd like somethign similar.
