I'm all happy as my first tomatoes, leeks and dahlias (!) are through in the propagators.

Grock, we're both right "This season belongs to Brigid, the Celtic goddess who in later times became revered as a Christian saint. Originally, her festival on February 1 was known as Imbolc or Oimelc, two names which refer to the lactation of the ewes, the flow of milk that heralds the return o...

I used aviary wire on my chicken run and have had no problems with foxes. We certainly have them around as my neighbour feeds a whole family of them every night and has done for the past 5 years or so.

I don't recall either of them moulting more than a few feathers either. My other bird, Selsey, is the s...

Hi Valmarg, I wasn't risking my liver honestly. I was on industrial strength pain killers as an option to calling 999 again and going to hospital as happened the last few times. You see, I really wanted to go to Potato Day! Probably a mistake as I've crawled out of bed today for the first time since...

Oh God Piglet, I was drinking my Nesquik when I read your last post I nearly choked.

You need a health warning.
