  2. I wish I'd never mentioned the bloody glass now! It's doing my head in. I'm very confused, I'm sure I read it somewhere. It was years ago so I may well have had grass on the brain when I conceived the idea, maybe that was the problem.
  3. That's all good stuff, I didn't know either.
  4. Mare's Tail is quite high in Silica, you can feel the grittyness when you cut/crunch/rub it. Silica is the main component of glass. I'm sure I once read or heard somewhere that because of that it was used in the glass making process. Frustratingly, I can find no reference to it now though. Maybe I dreamt or imagined it ........ Unless anyone else can bail me out here.
  5. Harry the Entitled Untitled!
  6. Mare's Tail is good for making glass. If that helps at all?
  7. Except he doesn't have the title anymore. Entitled but not Titled.
  8. A carrier bag full of gold balls, picked up from around the course in about 10 minutes.
  9. This is a bit of a hoot. Free Speech my arse! A lot of it is as expected, but the inclusion of some of these words is just weird.

  10. He not entirely thick; a lot of people do still believe the shit he believes or lies about, he's playing them a merry little tune.
  11. I agree. Grey Squirrels are huge problem, causing untold to the ecosystem. I think they're cited as being one of the threats to birds. Another wild animal that should be on our plates.

  14. Not wrestling again, surely not?

    Tasty. I'd sure like to try that one as well, sounds like a Proper Job.
  18. First time I heard a Thrush I thought it was about 10 different birds. Such is their long, varied, random sounding song. They're like the bird version of a one man band. I think they've just gotten very localised. Round my mum's you can hear one without fail walking along a certain path. And John Lennon airport in Liverpool bizarrely. I was staying in a hotel on the old site recently and heard one there, going on and on. They're unmistakable,; saying that though I wouldn't be able to tell between the normal and Mistle versions.
  19. I heard she can be a bit prickly in bed!
  20. That's shit.

    This is an interesting one, Cornish Yarg. Wrapped in Stinging Nettle leaves as part of the maturing process.
  22. Yeah, that one cost me nothing, I had all the bits and pieces lying around at home anyway. They need to be facing the sun most of the time, so S or SE facing is preferred apparently. There's plenty of info kicking around online but I saw this nice little guide recently. (I've never bothered with any of the overwintering stuff, just leave them out all the time and they seem to be okay). 183119-Pamphlet-bee-house.pdf

  24. New inhabitants moving in already. There's three tubes been capped off already and it's only been out a few days.
  25. Thanks. I think then it's not the degree of hard pruning, but rather my timing of it that's been the issue. Maybe I've cut the new seasons growth off too early, before the flowers have had a chance to form. I'll try to leave it longer this year, (though its odd that yours looks like that already, and mine is showing no signs of any flowers yet). Regards pollination. I'm sure they're insect, rather than wind. It only takes one busy little bee, (or any other of the various pollinators), to cover an awful lot of little flowers. You must have had a secret intruder in the porch I think!
