We have quite a lot of Red Kites here now…..and there is a bloke that has had an infestation of mice at the sheds at his house, so he has been trapping them, chucking them on his allotment and after a few days the Kites were coming everyday to pick them up!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Pleasant thoughts, Clive….
It’s been chucking it down for a couple of hours now and the wind has a real bite to it again!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Soon back to normal, just been and picked some Rhubarb for my Mum and it’s started raining again, so had to make a run for it….well more of a fast hobble!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Sounds like you had a very successful day, Clive!
I chain-harrowed one of the fields today, a job I really enjoy, as it brings back happy childhood memories of working on the local farms….

Had Big Bertha out doing a wonderful job of rotovating, she certainly makes short work of a large area, when conditions are favourable!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
This is a bit more like it but, as Clive said, it’s a job to know what jobs to do first….started really early this morning and got work proper done, and then shot over the allotments and planted 120 potato sets…..now time for a spot of lunch!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Another wet and windy morning and a jumper colder too!
Been potting lots of veg plants on, so the plants should be well advanced, when the time comes to finally plant them out….

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Sounds as if you really enjoyed your day yesterday, Clive.
It must be so tough for the farmers trying to get the last of the Winter root crops out….maybe the supermarkets will pay them extra, for all their hard efforts….on the other hand!
