A couple of photos I took up the allotment this pm.. One shows how tall the sprout plants are this year. The other photo shows what sometimes happens if you don't earth up spuds. The leaf growth of the plant was so dense I could not see underneath the leaves. Whilst lifting the Nicola spuds...

Same with me. I wonder where they got my e-mail adress from, I've never bought anything from them. Wonder if they got the info off the forum ?

My local problem with over defensive,nasty bees we atributted to a local beekeeper who struggled with vandalism, some of his local head bangers thought it was great fun to push over his hives and run away. So he delibretly kept "defensive" bees to protect his hives. A member of this forumn was...

He is on this group, based near Carmarthen SW Wales. Very helpful. Correction His name "tag" should be in lower case, ie mbc

We tried F1 Buckfast from 3 different suppliers, had the same problems with them all. The last Q I bought was from MBC, Can't fault her, at present she is in a double brood with 4 supers on top. I'm waiting for my granddaughter to return from holiday to take the supers off

I had this problem when I was using Buckfast Qs. If a raised a Q from a Buckfast Q the workers were mental. So bad that they were completly unmanagable. My son in law on one occation took so many stings to his face ( there were so many bees on his veil that it partially collapsed onto his...

My runners wont be ready for picking for at least 2/3 weeks. My allotment is (approx) 330 Mtrs above sea level... My cropping time is approx 2 weeks later than Porth at the junction of the two Rhondda valleys.

Up the allotment this PM and there were many Bumbles working the runner beans.

That looks like a Hover Fly.. I've got one in my allotment. The little b*gger tries to chase me away from my liquid fertilizer barrel.

Thank you Dani, that was quick, I,ve spent the past few hours looking for it.

Recently there was a post on the forum about poor starting 2 stroke machines. there was suggestions of using different makes/types of fuel. I can't find it, and I've lost the notes I made. Can any one help/point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

I've had the same problem with peas this year. I start mine in short lengths of rain water guttering. First lot I planted was in compost from last year, results were good. The ones planted in compost I purchased this year have been diabolical.

I haven't noticed if they are active around my traccy.. Before I had the opp they (sometimes) were more active around my mouth.. There is very little odour produce from my breath.. Most odours produced from normal "breathers" is caused by the food you eat/drink.. One of my fellow traccy...
