I remember years ago, a know it all farmer, used a massive crawler, with a pan buster on the back……he had it set miles too deep, and you could hear every time he hit a land drain…….the field then flooded every year after that, but he wouldn’t have it, that he had caused the problem! Could do with so...

I knew you would have the necessary information Clive, so thank you!
And of course, you are right about the latter….

My friend who keeps weather records, said we had 1.5 mm, so i’m not surprised everything was dry again, by 10 am! Do you know if there is a Spitfire, flying out of Cranfield airstrip, today Clive? It keeps coming towards the allotments, then turning back again….it has like a chequered pattern on the...

Well we didn’t get all the rain that we were predicted…..only had about 20 minutes of steady rain, despite very black clouds keep drifting over! Hopefully we will get some more over the coming week! Glad you got everything sorted out, Westi! Hope the dog bite soon heals up Barney! Lovely to see you ...

It all sounds perfect, Clive!

Had a really good morning over the allotments, got the Runner Bean plants in……have also sown, Beetroot, Leek, Spring Onions, Carrots, and at long last, some Parsnip…..have had to keep leaving them, because it’s been far too breezy. So starting to feel as if i’m getting there now…..and with the predi...

Wow, it’s a warm one today…….want to get 48 runner bean plants, planted out tomorrow, so been putting up some corrugated sheets to keep the wind off them…..and hopefully, any late frost too.

I wonder what the farmer would make of his field, being so famous, Clive!

Are you sure there’s not a sewerage works near you, or they are spreading treated sewerage, on the fields nearby, Stravaig…..as this has the most horrible smell!

That wind is a real nuisance today, it’s really drying things out but, looks like we should get some rain Sunday.

Making my hair rustle like pea straw, today!

I think we have one more chilly morning to come, but the rest look good for a while.
Just perfect out there now…..

I meant to ask, is the carrot field cleared now, Clive?

Glad you are still making good progress, Clive….i’m going to be growing a sweeter variety of sweetcorn this year…..now if only the crop is a good as last year, but a lot more edible, hopefully!
Must be pretty tough seeing the old greenhouse, like that…..

That sounds like you had a horrendous day Westi, I do hope today has been a lot easier for you!
The wind still might be chilly, but with the very bright sunshine, things in the greenhouse, needed another water at lunchtime.
