Didn't know where to put this so i bunged it here! Rolleyes

I made a short video when I first got my Fergie tractor and today managed to eventualy upload it to youtube.

Here's a link for anyone interested!

Btw there were three models, a TEA petrol version, a TED petrol/ parrafin version (like mine) and a TEF diesel version. Overseas there was also a TEO.

  Biodynamic/Moon Gardening
Posted by: Veggie - 12-12-2022, 12:28 AM - Replies (25)

I bought the Maria Thun Biodynamic Calendar 2023 intending to give this a try next year but I'm totally flummoxed by it. I can't get my head around the system at all. 
In my simple way I thought I could bend my Roots, Shoots, Fruits and Leaves to their Roots, Fruits, Leaves and Flowers planting dates. 
You think my RSFL plan is complicated, but its easy peasy compared to Moon gardening. I can't find any pattern to it at all. 
Unless somebody comes along with a simplified version that my simple mind can understand, I'm sorry to say that I'm giving up on it. 

Anybody tried it who can help a confused Veggie please?

  Time to Hibernate?
Posted by: Veggie - 11-12-2022, 04:17 PM - Replies (5)

Having had the first (and hopefully only) snow of winter, my happy thought was that, I have enough food in the house to last until the new year, probably longer. May run out of milk ( but have powdered) and bread (have a bread maker and flour). I'd just like a fine day on Wednesday when my car goes for its MOT and then I'm going to hibernate.
I envy the animals that can curl up somewhere snug for a few months and sleep the cold spell away. Are there any more wishful hibernators around?

  Which Onion to grow from seed?
Posted by: Veggie - 10-12-2022, 10:40 PM - Replies (4)

I seem to have amassed a lot of different onion seeds. Apart from some being white and others red, I'm not sure how they differ. 
Which onions do you recommend growing from seed and when do you sow them please?

  Tribal People Try

Tribal People Try is a Youtube channel for a group of Tribal Villagers who are asked to eat something that is alien to them - like KFC or Scotch egg. Its quite comical - the phrases they use to describe the taste and texture of these foods. 

One of my favourites is Marmite Big Grin

  Strawberries from seed from fruit
Posted by: Veggie - 06-12-2022, 11:36 PM - Replies (11)

I've been given 5 punnets of Sensation strawberries tonight.  They're huge - twice the size of some Elsanta strawberries in another punnet.
My question is - what are my chances of growing strawberry plants from fruits and how would you go about it?

  Damson Tree
Posted by: Farendwoman - 06-12-2022, 04:19 PM - Replies (9)

Anybody got any idea what could be causing these large holes in our damson tree.
The holes are one and a half inches across, and three inches deep.
They are close to some fungus that we have chiselled away and treated with blue Bordeaux mixture.
