Re: Early Summer Bits and Bobs.
I’ve popped some wool pellets around mine so fingers crossed. It’s mainly the brassicas getting it though.

Re: Earthworms
I know Westi, it’s a worry. Sadly I don’t have a picture of it as I was too busy trying to catch it.

Re: Earthworms
I’ve googled to no avail OH. Did you know there is an earthworm society of Britain! Www.earthwormsoc.org.uk ? currently on their site having a wee search and have joined a facebook earthworm group too lol. Must admit to having a wee soft spot for our little wrigglers.

Earthworms
Just saw the strangest ?earthworm?, around 1inch long, white, about 1mm to 2mm diameter and SUPER fast moving. I’ve never seen anything like this, I struggled to catch it ‘cause it moved that fast, then lost it. I know there are different types of earthworm but is this a native wriggler or should I ...

Re: Robins
Sooo exciting. I love such close calls with nature, always makes me catch my breath and try not to giggle like a schoolgirl. The birds are quite chilled in our garden and get quite close. The closest encounter I’ve had recently was with a hedgehog though, I had to move it after my blind dog pranged ...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Hope you’re fully rested tomorrow Westi and up and at it again. I used to find that the networking at the allotment was at least as enjoyable (and important) as the actual veggies.
LOL Clive. At least it’s not smellyvision.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
A wonderful 40mins or so spent out the back gate in the field watching the aurora weave its merry dance. Less green, more magenta and purple and pink. Wonderful to watch, standing with the dogs, other half and a martini lol.

Re: Grow Your Own Drugs
Sorry my bad Stravaig. As Geoff said and as I think are shown in his profile pic. The lovely red berries you get on the hawthorn bush in autumn. They’re wonderful for heart health.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
I’m hoping not OH, been chatting to the bumbles as they putter around the garden and don’t mind the wasps and hornets, but not in my garden please. Reminds me of a time on the allotment. I didn’t realise wasps could be ground nesting and ignored the “flies” batting off me, in hindsight the wasps try...

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.311
Ah how lovely Burnie, can’t beat a day on / in the river, fish or no fish. Not managed to get out this year yet as I haven’t sussed the best places in this area. You’re making me want to escape to the river.
Hope you felt a little better for it.

Re: Grow Your Own Drugs
I love James Wong and also have his book. It’s amazing what you can use that we just pass by each day. My favourite is Hawchup. A ketchup substitution I make out of haws. The most beautiful fushia colour and good for your heart health. I did my PGDip presentation on them. The research into it is qui...

Re: Sticky Willies aka Cleavers
LOL, I’d be surprised if there weren’t a few wee cheeky nettles somewhere in the garden Stravaig.
They do suggest you can use cleavers in salads but I think I’d find the texture off putting.
