To re-iterate my original point here.
What you find if you look up carpets on google is a wealth of American Carpet Cleaning Firms, who are trying to terrify people into steam cleaning their carpets. Such nonsense as (paraphrased) "all sorts of contaminants in the air outdoors get on your clothes and end up in your carpet", so...

Brown Turkey changed colour somewhat from bright green to aquiring a reddy-brown flush, which was when my Dad used to pick his. They were the size of a large hens egg I think. I think Dad used t...

When I lived with my parents we kept a dozen Marans at the bottom of the garden, their run was about the size of my current back garden.
