Re: SPRING PROGRESS
Was down at Lottie today and it was fab - 17c! Finished planting the brassicas and making great progress peeling back the black plastic and attacking the couch grass. And the first earlies have popped their little leaves up already. Even had to water the overwintering broadbeans which are in flower....

Re: Snake
Mr Mervin Meerkat I look forward to your application with anticipation and am sure your recorder skills are sufficient but obviously will need to take up references prior to appointment. In the interim period due to expansion (the boys are down), there will be an opportunity for an apprenticeship. U...

Re: Snake
Hi Monika We are near the New Forrest and our site overlooks fields at the back where I am. The other side of the field is the railway embankment which is where the boys live coming down over the field to mate. The female had the back row to herself for ages as they only opened up the back row where...

Was down at lottie on the week end and our Adder is back, warming up beside the fence. She is OK (but is massive)and goes away when you near but the boys come down to mate with her and they are not so well behaved and stand their ground and even hissed at me and blocked the path to the shed. We have...

SWEET POTATOES
Hi Everyone Advice needed. I have 3 sweet potatoes in pots all which have sprouted and the slips are about 6" or more. I checked the web but doesn't give a whole lot of detail for the next step. Do you just cut the stalk of the slip off and pot on? or Do you take a bit of the sweet potato with ...

Re: Melons Outdoors
Thanks Snooky & John Boy Perhaps we can compare notes on success or otherwise. I would love to put mine on the compost but it is outside the fence and the bunnies would enjoy too much that's why I thought of a hot bed. I decided to make something as pop up things are a no go - when measured out ...

Re: Cats
Hi Smurfy My cats were attracted to the leather sofa also. Firstly if I was in I clapped my hands and made a racket but they were still norty when out so I reverted to the water pistol which seems to have worked although still cheeky occassionally. I have read that putting double sided tape on the c...

Re: Potato Onions
Hi Plumpudding
I have Welsh Onions but they never seem to bulb up
which apparently potato onions do. Are Welsh Onions
supposed too; am I doing something wrong?

Hi Steve
Really good web site with very clear instruction.
Can I ask just one question - why do you have

Re: Global warming 'underestimated'
Hi Colin That stat surprised me. I thought New Zealand would have had a wild bee like in Australia. Not that either country could probably make a commercial crop out of the wild ones, which might be why they were sent to NZ in the first place. Wonder if there is a wild bee that was pollinating befor...
