OOPS

We've been to the plot today, we had to drive because we had the rotorvator with us. Half an hour into it suddenly we heard police sirens x several, then the police helicopter came over, then we had a dog handler arrived, then more police all over the plots. The helicopter hovered over our shed for ...

Thank you Primrose.

Please can I say thank you for your birthday wishes. It was greatly appreciated. I have a problem with my computer. I have a very old computer which collects my emails. I have a new (a bit newer than the old laptop but not much) laptop which I can't, for some reason, sort my emails out to collect. I...

The book's arrived and it looks very interesting. So I am sitting in the garden with a nice glass of white wine and soda and perusing it. Also bought Jamie's Veg cookery book so going through that also. I have a very bad habit of buying cookery books I just love reading them. I probably need to go a...

I have just ordered it as I saw it in a book shop and thought it had some very good ideas. I am trying to make our allotment work harder for us. We've been growing stuff for 18 years but still like finding new information or ideas.

Thank you for your suggestion, we have sprayed with Bug clear gun for fruit and veg and they have sprung into life. We hate using sprays but this was definately a last resort. They seem to be picking up.

Oh no. I love Beechgrove Garden

One of my tests was so stressful that the injection gave you three and a half years of back ground radiation, which could gi...

This year we have been hammered by something eating all round the edges of the peas and broad beans.(Looking it up we think it is the pea and bean weevil) We have had this before but never as bad as this year. We are organic and have been for 18 years but are now considering using a spray as our pea...

Old herbaceous unfortunately things are still not going too well with my health, thank you for asking. But keep plodding on. The allotment just keeps me going.

Thanks Monika. Hope you are well.

Thanks Westie, of course I will never let him forget it! but he also regrets what he did immensely. It is now giving him problems doing his job as he is self employed. I wish this weather would settle down as we cant do the roof till it is less windy and dry.

Stephen, he fell on to flags! I think most people would hurt themselves falling over 6 feet onto flags. Primrose he certainly has learned his lesson the hard way. He thought he was helping me to be able to get on with my seed sowing!
