Nope - finger was never pulled out, time has past, and other projects have become more pressing!

Dangermouse is soooo inferior to the mighty Batfink!!!

Good luck! 8)

I have no idea, but wanted to say I opened my bag of compost yesterday to find several tiny mushrooms sprouting :shock: Would they have been edible you think? This has become an increasing problem this year - I've never really noticed it before, but this year I've found mushrooms in almost every ba...

WARNING : if your queezy, or you feel it's too early in the morning for a discussion about worming, please skip this post! She is wormed regularly. Might be worth giving her a quick dose now - despite regularness of worming, a tape worm can grow quite big between doses. This is particularly true if...

Yes - well, I assume so (I never actually saw the moment of death). They were gently moved and put on to the bird table, so their death's aren't in vain, and the giant circle of life can continue

PS And none of that lightly sparkling stuff either. Give me scrumpy by the jug, keg, barrel; let it have body, bite and floaty bits; let it make me go "Ooh aargh ooh argh aay". I have a confession to make... I've started drinking Magners... and Strongbow Sirrus. Yes. I am so ashamed, as I...

...But loads of the leaves from the sprouts and cabages have been munched! Will it not make any difference to the growth and what I get? That's a coincidence! After planting ours out on friday, I noticed today that 2 of them are now little stalks - no leaves what-so-ever. The remaining 4 aren't loo...

Ray, your a legend! Cheers!

Loads of Councils seem to have taken this system up this year. My sis-in-law ordered one at the beginning of May for £7. By the end of May it hadn't arrived, so she phoned up to find out what's going on. They said it'd be with her by the end of the week and apologised profusely. A few days later ...
