Just seen a post about a site available in the Torfaen area of S Wales.. PM me if you want the contact details..

We also do the same with peppers and runner beans.. Brussel sprouts and peas are also frozen down... One of my favourite meals is, sprouts from the freezer mashed with boiled potatoes, thinly sliced lambs heart and loads of gravy.... Not to every ones taste.

We just cut them up into small pieces than but them in the freezer. we do the same with onions.. DO NOT "cook" them first.

Rodents cannot control their bladder, so they urinate all over the place.. Filthy animals... I hate rats with a passion..

I grow Nicola (2nd early) and Piccaso (main crop) Last year 50 (4 kg) Nicola seed spuds gave a return of 7 bread crates and the same amount of Picaso seed spuds gave me 9 baskets.. Prefer Nicola for texture and flavour, when boiled.. Will be trying some Cara this year on my brothers...

Thank you mate... I.ve been looking at those stoves... Only worry I have with them is if they will rust with the dampness in the garage

Thanks for the reply ... But at that price (£1,400) it is way over my budget..

Thank you Gilberdyke John for the advice.... There is plenty of ventilation into the garage, the main doors have a gap underneath them... You may have hit a part of the problem on the head re the chimney. Half the "rise" of the chimney is inside the garage. The outside part rises approx 3 ft...

Thank for the reply James... Tried it, had to re-do the joints after approx 3 months. contacted supplier and they said I was over heating the stuff.. They suggested using fire cement. So I'm looking for a better design stove... I have to be careful around stoves... If they leak fumes I cant...

Fire cement that was recommended by the supplier of the stove. because of the dampness in the garage the cement stuff turns into a powder . I tried to use the rope type sealer but couldn't get a good seal because of the design of the stove...

As title... I'm looking for a reasonable priced wood burning stove for my garage/workshop to replace a pot bellied stove that is leaking fumes. I stripped it down and resealed the joints 2 months ago but failed to cure the problem.. The garage is single skinned, concrete blocks... It's...

That spring is "issued" from Rhondda No. 2 (rider) coal seam.. The same coal seam in Tylorstown also has spring "issue".. I designed a fish farm (trout) that was fed from the "issue" The temperature of the water was near constant all year. Above the seam there is a layer of sandstone. The old...

In late'65 I was sent on a short detachment out to Malayar to help repair a Belvedere helicopter. It was stranded out in the "wilderness". So I was given a 303 rifle to take out with me, but no ammo... When I was " briefed pre opp" by the the RAF Regiment SNCO, he looked at my rifle and passed a...

Yes, they started to ban us from wearing uniforms off camp in the middle '60s.. Some of my mates were beaten up by a mob of "Ban the Bomb" idiots.. Then the IRA started to really increase their campaign for independance. I was at Odiham in '65 when they tried to steal armaments from the...

I was on leave over Christmas '63 when I was stationed at RAF Locking, WSM. My home village (Maerdy RCT) was completely cut off. I had to walk, carrying my kit bag, down to Porth approx 6 miles, caught a train to Cardiff. The Severn Tunnel was closed. So had to take a train to Bristol via...

I remember the winter of 1947.. We lived in a mining village in the top end of the Rhondda Fach.. The snow on the roads was over 24 inches thick. The older lads made a "fortress" wall across the road complete with watch towers..

I have been wrapping my hives in the same bubble wrap for 7 years, I used it originally to line my glass house in late winter/early spring to start off my tom plants. So it is now well over 20 years old and is still looking good.

JamezF..... Some years ago I was having the same problem with the garlic cloves, I also thought it was mice. Was told by a a fellow "allotmenteer" that it was the birds pulling them up, thinking the tops are worms. I now plant them so the tops are covered. Have had no problems since. Also works...
