Really cheesed off over my missing sunflowers
Posted on April 30, 2013 at 17:41 7 Comments 0 Likes
I raised then from seed nurtured and watered them, put them in the cloche to harden off before planting out, forgot to close the lid when I left the plot, discovered this morning all of them gone, the whole plant, not a trace just empty pots, now what animal/bird likes young sunflower plants?

Re-covered with anti UV coating polythene sheet for £25 hope it does the trick, the old covering only lasted 2 yrs I am loathe to spend much more.
Have also been tidying the plot ready for planting.…
Early and second early potatoes
Posted on March 10, 2013 at 13:30 3 Comments 0 Likes
My Potatoes are in, planted by my usual method of dig a hole with a trowel about 15cm deep wrap the chitted potato in a sheet of newspaper (which my friend suggested) cover with a seaweed mix of compost and earth up another 10cm or so, I usually earth up just once more when the hulm is about 15cm high.

Flighty said… David my picture is of James Stewart when he was a USAAF pilot during WW2. He's my favourite actor, was a lifelong pilot and I much admire him.
Regarding your friend it's good to have an interest like that which helps to overcome such a tragic loss.
I've had a lifelong interest in aviation but have always preferred looking at aeroplanes from the ground to flying in them. I started blogging as Flightbuff about that interest and fellow bloggers soon started calling me Flighty which, along with the picture, I've used ever since.

Yes I would, although I don't go to air shows hardly at all nowadays.
