Leicester calling

Post: # 134470Post MuddyWitch »

As it's very foggy & freezing cold (fair weather gardener, then! :wink: ), thought I'd finally get around to introducing myself.

Hubby & I garden a long, thin 1/4 acre; 28 raised beds, a small orchard and a tatty polytunnel (maybe Santa will bring me a new cover for it?). We try to be as organic as possible, but occasionally we do resort to a systemic for the bindweed both our neighbours share so selflessly with us.

We share our home with our youngest daughter & her b/f, as well as two ex-racing greyhounds. The former providing extra muscles occassionally (remember that if Santa comes through! :wink: ), in return for cheap rent. The latter are the best rat & squirrel deterants known to me! (Foxes & cats don't come 'round any more either.)

Looking forward to boring you all with my thoughts,

Hello, as much as a greyhound is a fast animal I always think they look underfed even if you feed them correctly

Sleepyowl,
I agree they look underfed, that's because we humans in our infinate wisdom, have bred out all their subcutanious (sp?) fat layer,which is why you see them in coats. Ask Orion (my dog) & he'll tell you he IS under fed! It's our fault, we only feed him twice a day, not constantly! :wink:

Andy...T'isn't! :pukeright: (I know you were being sarky, btw)
