  • Good morning everyone - sun for some lucky people and rain for others. We have rain but thankfully not as heavy as yesterday.

    I see the slugs and snails making a comeback with the wet weather. Saw the tell tale trails over the cold frame - notice they left the asparagus peas (must be horrid!) and chewed into the aubergines! Ha ha. I fished one out from the greenhouse as it was moving towards my sweet peppers.

    Seeds are struggling to germinate in this cloudy and cool weather. Hope we get more warmth and sun soon. Been a funny May really.

    Have a good Friday
    LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden. Winter update: currently growing overwintering onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, salad leaves, kale, cabbage, radish, beetroot, garlic, broccoli raab, some herbs.

              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,

                  BM I gave it up years ago, although I did enjoy it n spent a fortune in gear!

                  The one thing I still have is the full collection of "The art of Fishing Magazine" all sat neatly and tidy in their own 6 hardback folders and as been so n sat in my "Study" for the last God knows how many years!

                  Pretty comprehensive detailed educational reference to all types of Fishing!

                  Were having a tidy up! and redecoration!

                  Your's if ya want it?

                  • Good afternoon a nice sunny day here, forecast was rain but not happened yet went over to the coast and dropped in to a restaurant for lunch, then drove down the coast and pulled in to a picnic area as we sat looking out OH asked what more could you want, the view was stunning, bright sunlight, looking over to Arran with a couple of yachts sailing past and thought, eat your Hart out VC you don't get this in sunshiny South Wales, but answered OH by saying I'm going for a couple of bags of seaweed, a great day
                    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                      Thanks for the kind offer Deano, I left a rook of books behind when I moved. Utube is my source of information these days. I look at it as lazy man's reading..............

                        That's where your wrong, rary, 'cos I can see ships and 2 islands from my bedroom window and if I drive down to the coast - about 5 miles I can watch the yachts - so there
                        Forgot to say - its always sunshiny here and we have, and eat, seaweed
                        Glad you enjoyed your day out - who paid for lunch?

                              True but I have an Arran sweater and that's in my wardrobe so I don't have to drive to see it
                              Anyway, I can see England from my house - can you?
