We are pulling a lot of rhubarb at present mainly it is being frozen but some has been turned into jam (rhubard & raspberry, rhubarb & blackberry soon to try and make rhubarb & ginger) we are thinking of trying to make some wine as well, does anyone have a simple recipe?

Not sure if I should open a new thread so I will apologize to the Initial Poster and request Admin/Mod moves this post if required. Simple question: "Has anyone found a sure fire way of getting rid of moles.......permanently?" Their tunnels and hills have destroyed 80% of our garlic crop a...

Don't want to put you off, but any veg, and probably the grass too won't last long if the hens can get at it. They love scratching. We have experimented planted a herb garden this year, so far the chicks have flatten one thyme bush, they love sitting on top of it, corriander is also a favorite for ...

We often see slow worms when walking the dogs, one dog jumps a mile when he sees one the other tries to pick them up which is a problem as we have a variety of not very nice snakes where we live! As kids we used to catch and keep slow worms, amazing how actions and attitudes change as you get older ...

We kept them in the living room overnight, transferring them to an indoor dog kennel whilst doing the daily morning chores then outside in the garden to run free placing them into a chicken wire run when we could not supervise them. We esti...
