Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.
Disappointed yesterday. First day for a bit when I thought I could do something on a veg bed so I decided to lime the brassica beds. Went to the garage for the bag of lime I thought I had in stock but it was a memory failure, no lime. Decided to look online to see if I could order anything and was h...

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.
Well soggy December has blown away let's hope we can get a bit of normal weather. Looking at the year with the recent memory of the awful December just reminds me how dreadful July was!

Re: Early Winter Bits and Bobs.
Don't forget it needs screw holes and heavy stuff can be a bugger to drill so search for drilled angle iron but make sure you get the heavier versions of it.

Re: Parsnips
