Re: 2024 season begins
I only use one propagator to curb my over enthusiasm, it will probably be around February when the onions come out for potting on from cells to larger yoghurt pots. This coming year I shall repeat the trials I did last year and start peas in the prop too, then chillies and then tommies.

2024 season begins
Need to get cracking.....................................
just sowed my Onion seeds in the heated propagator, 36 white sturon and 36 Robinsons Mammoth Red, a bit later than I had planned , but then we used to always sow them on Boxing Day in the past.

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.
Dry here but cold, minus 4 just now, quite a bright day today so we went to St Andrews for a pre Xmas mooch round the shops and spent most of our money in the farm shop buying meat, must get my Onion seeds sown this week.

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.
This afternoon's National One rugby match was strang. From the bar I volunteer to run we could just see players at the halfway line, we're twenty foot behind one dead all line offset slightly from the posts. At times we couldn't see the posts at the other end and a few times couldn't see players in...

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
It has not got over zero degrees all day, scrape the car windows, go to the doctors to collect a prescription and the windows were starting to freeze again at two in the afternoon.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
That is horrendous, I'd have thought you would qualify for some sort of help, either with the drainage, or in some form of compensation for your lost crops.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
I can't think of much that's edible that will like their feet wet in winter, will rice grow in your neck of the woods?

Frosty here for several nights now, we were out chasing the Aurora last night, but the moon was so bright it was hard to see it, you can just see green curtains in the centre of the image

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
Seemingly Pumpkins taste similar to butternut squashes, so should make a good soup, though I have never knowingly grown or eaten a Pumpkin.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
Thanks Tiger, found a pair on there & thanks to Black Friday got a huge discount of £100! Mid waterproof whatever that means but from the pic it looks like the lace up area might be the weak link but not planning to jump in deep puddles. They should have bellows tongues, so they shouldn't let w...

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
You want some hill walking shoes, I pay a bit more for Merrell shoes, but there are others. Be aware whilst breathable membrane shoes/boots are good they are not water proof, just water resistant, something like these perhaps. https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/womens/footwear/walking-boots/sal:view/?&...
