Hi, I have noticed the birds have attacked the Greengage and Victoria Plum trees at my allotment but left all the other trees. My question is..... Do the birds eat these because they may taste like the fruit and if so can we make wine out of them????? It would be great if we can

Hello everyone, i have a problem lol. An abundance of Jack by the Hedge.

Apart from using the leaves in salads and perhaps omlettes is there anything else i could use these great tasting leaves for?

Hi, I have a book all about herbs and weeds in which it says adding Nettles to a hens diet helps egg production. Gonna give it a go myself when i get my own chucks lol
