well the best way to handlethat pronblen is to think verticaly.
a stack of tyres from the local trye fitter will make a realt healthu bed ,stack the tyres up as many as you like and fill them with soil and newspaper,seaweed any thing but Not kitchen waste which will arttraxt slugs.just let it settle for a day or two weeding it out and topping up wih soil , then plant a few spuds into yje top of the second trye put on another one and fill up againwith soil, As the spuds leep coming through keep feeding with toomato feed and topping up Not covering the growing shooytsieventualy you will have a stack of tyres ,so noy t taking upmiuch garden space and a vertical bed of spuds . you can rthen just dig a few as needed or leave them to form a storage clump after they have flowered and all that jazz carrots grow brilliantly like this as there are no stones to split theand if you mix 50/50 ewith seashore salty sand carrots just kove salty soil.theres a lighthouse keeper in northhumberland who grows xcarrots at the top of the beach.. he was on Country file last summer.and he keeps sheep that only eat seaweed which gives the meat a distinct flavour muh prized by top London resterouants.. you can paint the tyre stacksso they are bright and cheerful .they make a wonderful patio planter with trauking lobelia and geraniunsor pertuias.
there is a specialty firm of plantsmen who sell mimi vegs sfor the small garden little cabbage hearts and leeks all sorts of mini vegs. look for a cat in your local garen ctr. I always have a six high stack of tryes with Maris Piper or a earklu Nantes carrots , carrot fly cannot get up that far so you avoid that problem when the tops of the spuds have died off I clean then over and cover with a trye full of sands ehen a waterproof top ,Bit of plastic sheet and let them overwinter like that just dihgging a few up as i need them.tgree tryes full of soil topped with a wigwam of 6ft garden canes and planted with runner scarlet beans great show.
Thanks for the ideas, Skipper Pete, worst things are the pesky neighbourhood cats! Got any magic ideas of stuff to prevent them using our place as a toilet? Cos have tried everything sold in the shops, and more too! Even electronic scarers, there are cats who are so thick they just bravado it out!
Hello, folk, Mary, Dot, Dianne, Quill, Sue, Liz, and all that my brain cell forgets......we have begun clearing out the kitchen big time, the new one will be delivered tomorrow all flat packed ready for next week, I'm looking forward to it now we are properly under way, it will look stunning! Just hard work managing it all at this stage, unpacking all the old, forgetting where anything went and will be trying to re-pack the new kitchen systematically!
Caz got so stuck in the slow traffic last night that she decided to stay with a friend near Greenwich so she could sleep later today, before her teaching. We will see her later, and then when she has gone home we'll be using her room to pack away all the rest of the kitchen, lol!
yea dont have a moggie, don't think benn would care for a moggie around the place. He's got me into trouble last week with the comm cop, for swearing at someone who has complained about him swearing in front of the schoolkids.
He dont swear a damn ,and some of it they have taught him over the years we have been here. Apparently he has told some toffee nosed southerner to Bugger off which he would, same as he'd tell him to shurrup, get lost or hundreds of other things but he doest swear like some of these little ones that go past on the way to school, anyway what can I do with him now can'nt tape his beak up c an I?.
I said to the commcop he 's a forty years old parrott and he thinks he's a human being and he just repeats what he's heard over the years. He taught my three year grandaugther to say bugger it and sod it , I know he did but the sad stuff that 5 and six year olds use while standing looking in my Koi ponds on the way to school, its terrible some times; for little kids ,and spitting on the grass verge ,they get that from watching footy on the tele.he hasnt said that to my knowledge.
Mostly its what my old mam called "Pirate Stuff", she had him for a long time at her houseand he learned nursery rhymes and Pieces of eight and Ahoy Sailor all that dtuff and he sings to himself .Just makes a humming noise and dances up and down shaking his perch and he called my ex wife "the forces of darkness" which shows he has good taste anyway I might have to take his outside perch in and not leave him on it on the corner wall , but he likes beenthere watching folk come past , some of them he reconises and gets very exited when he sees them coming up the street. Bobbing and nodding his head , still we shall have to await the outcome. during the Falklands nonsence we taught him to shout "up the Argies" and "wheres the bloody Falkklands then" Course he is an Amazon Green so I suppose he is a "Argie" realy.
cats ?lay some hawthorn small and prickly branches about your soil. Theres awater throwing gun that plugs into your garden hose and has amovement detector on its head so if it detects a move,ment it turns and fires a a water jet in that direction. Ive seen them for sale maybe on ebay#/.
yea here it is on ebay the Scarcrow water jet repellant from gardens direct. have a look at it looks immpressive to me.
I was reading about you daughter being amusician ,my neice is a proffesional ultra suprano and a proffessor of music she learned at leeds school of music I think, she sings proffessonaly with, a gruop of guys sometimes and teaches piano and and wind intruments, flute , clarinet and stuff, I had ashtma as a lad and couldnt do sports at schoo; so was sent to music lessons at the local sally army citidel three times a week during school times .I learned piano for about three years and was getting my grades when I got pluresy and nearly died with it so I was bed ridden for almost a year. and never carried on with music afterwards but I play the accordian a 120bass fonterini and I have a yanmaha digital three manual Electrone organ, its realy an ochestra in a box and can be most of the instruments in an ochestra it has a full range of foot pedals. but I dont do it justice cos i dont practise just play a bit when I want too. your lass will put some hours in pactising I admire that. I hated appegios up and down the scales in differnet keys, never saw the sence in em.
A professional musician's life is a tough one, Caz is also a professor at Trinity College of Music which is a conservatoire. She is adept at living out of a suitcase but the cancer makes her tired and it is all getting harder work than it used to.
i regret not getting back into music whenI did recover but I was very ill for a long time Moomy not much in the way of treatment for pluresy then or even asthma attacks they were all dodgy. My dad and ny uncles were a trio of fishermen singers who used to go round singing at chapels and on sunday on the beach while sitting in the salmon coble, lots of visitors used to gather round and just listen, sometimes they would chuck money into the boat.
Hey Hey happy days that we didnt realy realise we had.
