    Bloomin did it again! Got half way through my t and realised I hadn't taken a picture. Runners, sweetcorn, courgette roast tatties (all from the plot) and roast pork from an organic farm I shoot.Managed to strike a deal with the farmer and had 2 pigs, it worked out at less than a £1 a lb for a freezer full of pork, I kept the price low buy collecting it from the abattoir and jointing it up myself thanks to a tutorial on youtube. Ill post a picture of the strawberry and apple crumble when it gets out of the oven.

    Only spoilt by the fact that your kids cant have it, a fact that you will probably come to regret in the future.

    It wasn't a loaded question I was genuinely curious:thumbup: Managed to stop the next door neighbour from cutting his lavender bush back earlier, it must of had 30 odd bees on it feeding. He said he couldnt see them without his glasses on :eek:
  11. Pat Ferrett
    Any chance the traps kill bees aswell ?

    I have turned down a few mainly because the customer budget wasn't up to paying for it to be done right and also because the customers didn't ring true, the first one that springs to mind was a row of pops next to a swimming pool. The vibes I got from the customer were the pool had a problem and after the trees were down it was going to be blamed on the work carried out, I ran it past another firm and they had been out and come to the same conclusion.

    Im sure someone will be happy to take it off your hands. Things must be tough if you cant sit on it ready for a run of reductions.

    The bike in yesterday's picture is an old tradesmans bike with a large sprung brooks saddle. I have probably clocked up 10 miles since buying it on Saturday and Im off to price a job in a minute which will be a couple more miles, which is going to gently get me back in the swing of things rather than jumping in the deep end and trying to do a 40 mile road trip. The Marin saddle just makes my butt and hips hurt hence fourth why its in the loft atm. Its talking to Mick at Jonsies shoe that got me in the mood.
  15. Pat Ferrett
    Put the feelers out and it seems myself and a few mates might start getting out for a ride at the weekends. Still got my Marin in the loft but think a new saddle might be in order.any suggestions ? Thinking comfy padded springy not the razor blade thats on it atm.

    Maybe people would rather plant shrubs
  21. Pat Ferrett
    The more hassle they make owning trees the less chance people will want to plant more.

    Rolled my little camon chipper twice in one month both times doing a tight right hand turn and both at less than 10 mph. Tried to drive the tracked tw out of the tipper body and down the loading ramp of a trailer only the brake on the trailer closed up and the ramp fell out of the tipper followed by the chipper:thumbup: all in a days work.
  23. Pat Ferrett
    Cardoons:thumbup:
  24. Pat Ferrett
    Toms are doing well, pulled out the pea plants ready to plant leaks, started to pick a few courgettes Bees are all over the teazles and ragwort only got the one plant and feel bad pulling it out while the bees are having a good feed. Anybody else grow cardoons ?
