Every year in this part of Gods Country there is a competition between Maerdy and Ferndale over where the best wimberries are found. Each village claims the bragging rights for their own patch, been going on for years. When I was in the RAF I picked some Bilberries on a heath near RAF Odiham...

Google... GUGULUZA Berry Picker Comb , or search on Amazon for berry picker.

Took a short stroll up the "mountain" ( side of the valley) this Pm to pick some wimberries. Managed to get these in approx 30 mins using a berry picker. Will be going back up next week to collect more to make jam etc.

Erichalfbee ..The first photo was taken 30 mtrs from the tree. The other 3 were taken approx 200 mtrs away using the "zoom" function on the camera.

Will try again, the light wasn't very good when I took the photo, and the focus "dropped out" when i tried to zoom in..

No problem Dani... There is to much undergrowth around the tree for me to get close enough to see the leaves.

Removed.

I always used ordinary cellotape when i was doing a lot of grafting.. It would be a good idea to use some "splints" to secure the break. I often used knitting needles.

The worst "types" were the ones with "Buckfast" in them. Tried a Q from a reputable dealer who said there was no "Buckfast" in the "genetics". I raised a Q from her shortly after I received her. The daughters offspring were real beasts. We have a problem beek locally that delibretly keeps...

I have to buy in new queens, if I allow the most strains of bees raise their own Q then I always get a problems with fiesty bees which are difficult to work with...I have found that, locally, the Qs I get from Ricky Wilson are best for my area. I can let them raise a new Q ( they usually...

So sorry to read this. My wife always had a chat with him when we ordered Queens. When my wife phoned him and said "Is that Mr Wilson" he would reply quickly " Hello Mrs Gregory, everything OK down there"..

I also don't like/use chemicals.. Slug nematodes are small worms that burrow into slugs and eat them from the inside, they are present in soil naturally.

It was sold as being 100% immune to blight... It failed completely. I can't grow any spuds in the plot I tried it in since, and that was over 10 years ago! I believe it was "bred" in Hungary.
