  1. Will they play a cover of his favourite song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X53ZSxkQ3Ho
  2. In the greenhouse, the tomato/strawberry barrels - the tomato plants have smothered the strawberries more than I imagined, but they're not great tasting strawberries anyway. Loads of green tomatoes. Millions of flowers, I think a lot haven't been pollinated. With the poor weather there seems to be a real shortage of flying insects
  3. Ripe blackcurrants aswell! I don't know what the variety is, these bushes came out of my parents garden when I had to redo their soakaway in 2020. At the time I dug open, but had to wait for the quarry to reopen after the first covid lockdown. The bushes must be 30yrs+ old, they were there when I was a kid
  4. What a summer it's been. Not had any decent weather since about May, the plants have just sat there not doing anything, but finally it's turned, the clouds have receded. First courgette harvested of the year
  5. If it's lights you can fix them to the tipping body too, just be sensible about the wiring
  6. Don't bother locking the trailer, just leave a few of them lying around the yard in the dark
  7. Can you not tow the existing chipper with the BCS?

    The post

    Postie start times in the mornings have been put back a few hours round here, apparently Royal Mail have cancelled 2 flights so they have to wait for the lorries to come in now. (might not be a bad thing for the environment though)
  9. I borrowed a book on tree pruning from the local library, but the last 1/3 had been removed.
  10. Just put a sign above the infeed saying "please do not insert any body parts, as the clean up is time consuming for the other staff"

    I don't know if the latitude thing is good or bad for solar? Long summer days, but about 6hrs of daylight in midwinter?

    Could Thurso be in line for the far north’s first solar farm? WWW.JOHNOGROAT-JOURNAL.CO.UK A multinational’s bid to develop the far north’s first commercial solar farm has elicited a mixed response from Thurso Community Council. An area that already has too much renewable energy, and a company wants to come in and build a solar farm, would it not make more sense to put solar panels on new industrial buildings near the big cities. Keep the land for grazing, or plant some trees.
  13. Enough head as a man could ever desire! I know it's mad, you'll all think I'm a nutter, but I just planted some bare root fruit trees this week. They were on a special offer, 6 different fruit trees for £19.99 plus postage! I assume they're unsold from the winter, and been in a cold store. I think they would have a chance if it wasn't for the delivery taking a week.......during a heatwave! https://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/premium-speciality-chefs-selection-for-the-fruit-connoisseur-fruit-tree-collection-pack-of-six The description is a load of soppy waffle It's a punt, I think at least 1 of them has a sign of life, a Pinova apple.
  14. Half full at 100kg it's easy to wheel about, the ground gently slopes downhill, you would struggle uphill on grass. This cart also has a 50mm tow bar attachment They're great trolleys, well made.
