Any further progress with Hope? Fingers crossed all is going well.

Chucking random flowers seeds about on the raised beds and throwing away the packets was not such a good idea. Now I've got some green appearing and I don't know what it is, weeds or flowers. Ilona First year here we brought three packs of strawberry seeds and threw them in their own bed, our neigh...

Like Spreckly we just place some on a plate/saucer, leave and wrinkle test it, for fruits low in pectin we add a small amount of lemon juice at the beginning. Our first batch of the year is normally either too thick or too runny but after that we get back into the swing things. I like to have my mul...

We have had problems this year with our large rose (pink) Bulgarian tomatoes, originally we thought it was “blight” but on closer inspection it seems that the flowers were forming then dying off, if a tomato did form it then grew naturally without a problem. Our other small yellow tomatoes are not a...

It seems to be the other way around here, living out in the sticks so to speak, we only see the odd couple of bats flying around at night when I would have expected to see more. A long time ago I remember going on an evening bat walk around a place called Danes Dyke in East Yorkshire where the Walk ...

Roll Up! Roll Up! For the ID parade!!! Free “virtual” beer or wine for for every correct gender identification and second “virtual” drink for your pointers so I can learn for the future. Out of ten chickens we think we know the correct gender of six of them, the other four..........................w...

Good idea, I will get some pictures tomorrow and post them, we thought we had them worked out but people keep telling us different things so confusion rules
