Hi Catherine, Sounds like an absolute nightmare. We've had some awful neighbours over the years, so I know just how you feel. What about some reed or willow screening. It come in 2 metre high packs 4 metres long. If you raised it up a bit you could probably get it to about 7 or 8 feet high. Is that ...

Hi Catherine, Sound's lovely. I've always thought it is the best part of the day. I get up about that time every day and go for a long walk along the beach with the dog to get a paper and then back to face the day. Like you, I've cleared a lot out of the greenhouse already today, and am now ready fo...

Hi Anne, I'm glad it works for you. I think the cat repellent must be getting popular, because almost everywhere around here is continually out of stock of it. I managed to get a couple of small packs of it a few days ago. Not that I've needed it, but I wanted some handy just in case. Cheers, Parson...

Hi Chantal,

That's about £17.10 too much for that waster :evil: I wonder how long it will be before he is behind bars again?

I was worried about this last week and started a thread on here about it. However, now they are up and running and it won't be long before the first spears are cut :D
I shouldn't worry too much if I were you.

Cheers, Parsons Jack.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN ???!!! I feel happy looking at my 20. Mine are Turga and the ones I put into loo-rolls all germinated in the greenhouse; none on damp kitchen tissue, though I attribute that to my own failings, not the method's. I also sowed a dozen direct about a month ago, and most have j...

How about shaking the bush, as earlier suggested, and then scooping them up and putting them on the bird table. They won't last long :)
