Any South Park fans here? ‘South Park’s most furious episode ever’: the jaw-dropping Satanic takedown of Donald Trump | Television | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM They’ve depicted the president’s privates. They’ve shown him in flagrante with the devil. The makers of the foul-mouthed US cartoon have certainly thrown down the gauntlet …

If they produce runners you can use them as the next generation, saves on new plants. I think they all do?? Also irrigation is tricky in baskets, dry year, might affect fruiting. But they do get old and need replacing one way or another

Point of lay is around 21 weeks

Must have a rooster too, surely?

A Reform UK puts teenagers in charge of vital public services | Reform UK | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Concerns raised about council appointments, including 19-year-old overseeing children and family services Anyone think this is a good idea? Media stunt? Or just scraping the barrel?

If you can pay for your Rhodie clearance work by making charcoal that would be fantastic but hopefully a relatively short term thing depending on the scale of the problem and the woodland. Otherwise, like SP says above, work with what you have , in other words what the planned management will be generating. The poplar is a one off, don't plan too much around that...

And yet, not discounting the significance of the above, this remains one of the most chilling things I have read about the war, things are changing all right. Small and lethal: adapted drones carrying explosives ‘hunt’ civilians in Kherson | Ukraine | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Ukrainians face new airborne threat that has killed 24 civilians and injured hundreds more since July More recently the Russians use cabled drones to avoid jamming. Cables up to 20km long....

They are indeed and will become more sophisticated very quickly. Have you read The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson?

Thanks. My advice was decades old, good to be re-educated.

It is anti clockwise you twist out isn't it? I was taught to anaesthetise with meths, lighter fluid or, like tree monkey, the hot end of a fag. Then twist confidently! Haven't had to do one on myself for years, just a few on dogs. I wouldn't use the fag trick on a dog tho!!!

It could just be heat stress. I've seen Rowans do this and it looks very exposed. Any live buds at the tips? If so it may come back ok, next year if not this to some extent.

But then again... Hard to keep up!

Or not

Excellent! Incubator or mother bird?
-
Well one popped out early on Monday, 2 on time and one late one yesterday. 4 out of 18 is disappointing, having said that 18 would've been a challenge! Leaving the incubator run another 24hrs just in case but 4 doing well in the brooder now...

Pick up some chick crumb if you can but they're prob onto spiders etc already too. The crumb will give them the best balance for their age
-
I'd be inclined to protect as much as possible but take your cues from the mother. So if you pen her in but she's desperate to get out with the chicks then let her do her thing. Rats, stoats etc will be the greater risk than geese which are at least mostly vegetarian. It's always a gamble at that age but the chicks will benefit from fresh grass or other greenery from the first few days. Good luck!

I'd be happy with 50% from 4 eggs, in the wild as it were. I've had 70% from an incubator (usually lower, 0% recently so trying again. Hatch day is Tuesday... Hopefully... Talking probabilities though I wonder what your odds are for 2 hens, 2 roosters or one of each!

Translation please?

The Brits of course. Our dabs are all over the history of the region. U have done some research I presume? U know the history?
-
That we made a right mess of reorganising all the regions' borders in the mid 20th century. And then left the locals to sort it all out when things got difficult.

And with the reinstatement of supplies of the bunker busters from the US
