I was very happy with the quality of the little red robins I paid €2 each for.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

Looks like most of my parsnips have germinated, I'm well pleasedSmile

Any advice on what size they should get to before thinning out please?

Not sure what others do but my final spacings are 6in between plants each way then I can dig them out without damaging the others.
   
A good tip don't know were I read it though is to pinch out the tops of seedling rather than pulling them up so you don't disturb the roots of the rest.

Thanks Bren

They are already spaced in clumps it's just a matter of thinning them to 1 per clumpSmile

As Bren says Danny, I thin mine once they have two sets of true leaves
I am only the Boss because Veggie lets me be!

A new logo and label design for my chillies

   

I’m very happy with it. And what follows is a blatant plug for the company that designed it. Because she’s a lovely lady and very good at what she does ( and a fellow self builder    Smile )

Finally saw a hedgehog in the garden last night, the first one this year. Good size, bright and healthy looking eyes and no obvious ticks.

And I don't have to weed my hugelkultur bed because we had wild boar in the garden for the very first time and they've turned it over nicely!! The raspberry canes, peach tree and most of the blackcurrant bushes are fine, but I have no idea where they left the strawberry plants ...
