Brings back memories , we used to holiday near llanbedrog years ago , Mr Fox's farm just below the jam pot it's a lovely part of the world ,don't think I fancy an ex toilet block

Well we have finally finished the pollytunnel, 5 days of hard work ,knee deep in sticky mud for most of the time,ten years ago it would have been up and finished in 2 days but arthritis and a dicky swinging brick takes its toll, this time next week ill be in warmer climates

Great news pa snip I'm made up for you

What's going on, it's not raining ,it feels strange, managed to get most of the frame up for our new pollytunnel today still fighting the mud it's no fun

Happy birthday hope you have a good one

I go down the allotment each day to collect the eggs and clean the chicken shed out, since October I have had to put wellies on to get to the chicken shed ,the chickens are living in 6 inch deep mud and there is no way I can improve it believe me I've tried

I thought villiers only made two strokes, at least all the bikes I had with villiers engines where two strokes

I used to change it every year when I had my first greenhouse in the garden this rotted about twenty years ago, our pollytunnels on the plot where I grow all our tomatoes never gets changed I just top it up with pigeon and chicken manure I very rarely feed the plants as I don't think they need it my...

I had an old mate who passed away with cancer around four years ago when he told me he had three months to live I was more devastated than him, his attitude was unbelievable " I've had a good life it's time to go " was the statement he made to me , he was one of the good guys you meet as l...

When I sit and think what we have spent on ours over the last four years I wonder if I am of sound mind, from tillers to pollytunnels it's not cheap

I think I would hire a tractor and plough for a weekend, no matter how much you cover the soil in plastic you still have to dig it eventually, when we first got our plot at the time it was only half a plot I was 3 weeks of solid hard work turning over an area 10 feet square and it did not get any ea...

It seems all we have had for four months is rain and gales my plot has reverted back to a pond ,Leeks, carrots, and sprouts all rotting in the ground as did my parsnips I'm not a happy bunny

I found nemaslug a waste of time,we are over run with slugs down the allotment this year I'm going for beer traps we have used these in Spain with great success , in a few weeks our pond will be full of mating frogs and toads I'm thinking of catching a few and moving them down to the allotment

Last night my pollytunnel succumbed to the gales , it was only a cheap one from Amazon so no big loss in fact I've been struggling to keep it in one piece since I first erected it about three and half years ago, I've decided to buy a better quality one something around 8x15 feet but undecided on whi...
