Got back from the vets, they do a different vaccine so because they haven't had it before, got to have another in 4 weeks time, same with berry.

Not at all burnt. A major mistake is often cooking directly over the heat or with too many coals so it is too hot rather than indirectly cooking which is so much nicer.

That's ok then.

Do you want directions for the pipe @Leeski.....would hate you to have a flood!

No wonder I can't get anything done, even on a Monday!

I love okra dearly. Eating it more than crawling around the prickly plants. I am amused by your thoughts for pigeon. Around here it is not uncommon to meet people who know how to corn feed a trapped Opossum for a similar purpose. Please do not eat the groundhog. They are just too cute.

No, for some strange reason, the hedgehog is spared. The real hog is famed for its crispy skin .. Actually, I had never heard of a hedgehog until I came here!

I know...bit addictive, I came in to strip the bed......and here I am laying on it posting!!!
Sssh not a word to hubs ,left him outside doing garden chores

Raining gently here to, I bags up all the daffodils and some tulips yesterday ready for storing, I've kept more than I thought. Not much else is happening in the garden but for deadheading.

I'd take Japanese knot weed over maretail anyday, horrible weeds to try and get rid of. There is a weedkiller for maretail called Kurtail, don't know how good it is but maybe worth a try, its expensive .

I bagged up all my bulbs a couple of weeks ago....troub!e was that I couldn't tell which were which.....so bunged them all in together......good job I like surprises

What's with all this rain.....I am now greener than our lawn with rain envy!! ( choose a green face as appropriate)

Try vinegar, use it when we've still got the dry weather.
Don't know how much but use it neat.
