Re: Greenhouse ventilation for tomatoes
I don't put my Greenhouse Crops in there until I know I can leave the door open, if I do get caught out with a colder snap I will close it but leave the vent open (& throw a fleece over the plants if it is going to be proper cold). The only reason I do this is so I will still have some air movem...

Re: Plum Beauty - even earlier blooming!
Most of the buds on mine are closed but there are some open & just know they will invite the others to join! I'm going to do the paintbrush & a fleece fence of some description. Expect the fence will probably blow away in first stiff breeze but I did say addiction!

Re: Sugar free
Mr Westi is overweight ,had a quadruple bypass, diabetic, had a diabetic foot ulcer that kept him off longer than the bypass & shopping is a nightmare - totally agree tiger! Kind off think the confusion is intentional at times.

Re: Plum Beauty - even earlier blooming!
Damn thing is in flower already - note a full week before last year! I will have to be creative to get a crop - will start with a new artist brush for one & may have to look at some sort of fleece fence around it as well. Any hints & tips appreciated! Also think I was ripped off with the siz...

Moving Fruit Trees
I believe I posted that I wanted to move my Red Love apple so it is against the garage wall as by some fluke of nature there is no growth out the back. I think it might have been trained at some point into a fan. Anyway my question - have I left it too late? I have read that you have to by the the e...

Re: Polytunnel fever
Peter - thank you! No mention of re-locating them, thought that was in allotment act? That has been our saving grace to date as no land available & when something might be useful the farmer they put compulsory purchase on to get the building land has bought it first to build his own houses! (Not...

Re: Polytunnel fever
I soo want a polytunnel, but just know I wouldn't be able to put it up & Mr Westi is falling apart so no help there! (Bypass, bad hips, dodgy elbows). Not to mention the lottie site is not secure from development yet!
Just keep teasing guys!

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs - 2017.
What a productive day! After 2 weeks of rain & no lottie, today was cloudy but no rain, so able to muck in. Got 3 large trugs of burn ash for the onions & even managed to put individual piles at the end of the onion beds ready to scatter. Then Mr Westi's xmas present of a pile of old horse s...
