Re: GoatsIt is now three weeks since we have brought any milk or cheese as both products are now supplied by our goats. The cream that settles on top of the milk is lovely. We have just ordered a cream separator which will hopefully extract even more so we can collect enough to start making butter. Two of ou...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!I undertook the first cut of grass we grow for fresh hay, it was done over three days using a scythe that I spent many weeks bringing to a finely tuned cutting implement. )t' We gain a better cut and amount doing it this way than we used to get using a strimmer. It is currently sitting in several pi...
WeldingSo finally today I got my welding machine out to tackle my first project. I was a bit concerned when the instruction manual for the safety helmet was more detailed and informative than the single sheet of paper that came with the welding machine }hairout{ work that one out >coc< A quick viewing on t...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!So, here we are in May, hammering it down with rain again at present but things have moved on. All the tomato plants are now in, various types of beans planted, completed the sowing of all the carrot and beetroot seeds. Butternuts, melons and courgettes all now in the ground (cucumbers, gherkins etc...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!Raspberry bed was weeded today, the peas were strung up and the first tomato plants put in the ground outside. We also started preparing another bed where all the beans will go, weeds removed, soil turned just needs levelling and tilling. Bad news is the Colorado beetles have shown themselves early ...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawingHow is the artwork progressing?
Re: Learning Guitar How dedicated. I'm surprised you have the energy and concentration at that time. Just as I got Monteverdi hammered into my head I've got to stop singing it over the kitchen sink and try to learn this and this and more. I can happily noodle variations on Go Down Moses - just not the ones Tippet wrot...
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: Learning GuitarSo, Lesson 10 completed though I need to find some finger speed, happy at @ 60/70 bpm but things go a bit haywire when up to @ 120/130 bpm but practice, practice, practice and I will get there eventually. Biggest issue at present is with the warm weather and light evenings we are working later so it...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog! Lack of moisture is hardly a problem here!!! All our road edges are running streams. Not particularly dry last summer either. Ahhhhh, the good old English weather, I tend to forget about it whilst dealing with ours. Look on the bright side, Spring is here and Summer will soon follow. Get your bucke...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!Sounds like an uncomfortable position to caught in the middle of Spreckly, it makes me glad we have no direct neighbour's. Today we pulled another load of rhubarb then set to weeding around the rhubarb, the garlic bed and both strawberry beds. The geese and ducks thoroughly enjoyed tucking into the ...
Re: GoatsMade our first "hard" goat cheese today, nice texture but very mild. We will play about and place half of it in brine tomorrow. We have also made a "soft" cheese tonight which has to sit until the morning before we finish of the making process. Our aim to make another cheese which will "age" once we...
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!Today, we cleared another bed and planted it up with onions, it took all afternoon but that is another task done. Tomorrow will be spent weeding, they seem to be growing extremely well this year........unfortunately.
Re: Trev62-An intermittent gardening blog!The last aubergines we grew were "purple fingers" or "little fingers"? something along them lines and they had a lovely taste to them. Not sure what variety went in this year I have lost the packet, still all the more fun when/if they start to grow
