A very nice man brought me a wild life camera to find out who I share my garden with. It has been interesting seeing what I can get photographs of:

I had not realised I had a garden fox, the rat found my potato store and I have a mouse in my greenhouse that is eating my seeds as fast as I try to plant them  :rant:


A couple of observations on using these cameras: I have found that more wildlife is attracted if I put some food down in front of the camera before I leave it out over night I am surprised how much moisture condensates on the lens :Doh:

Strange you mention that Chris, tonight we are recording in the greenhouse a new movie that I am hoping to call  "The demise of Sweet Pea Eater" :mischief:

It might be a bit of a horror movie but it should be better than the time I splattered one when I hit it with the soup ladle  :-X

 :headscratch: Glorious sun down here after that storm blew itself through.

Maybe someone heard you wanted to go out to play with a new lathe and wanted to discourage you  ::)

So we expect to see swarf tomorrow then   ;)

I can report that despite 70+ mph winds yesterday my crocus have survived and two onion paperclips have been seen  :cartwheel:

Nope, no swarf tomorrow. No swarf this week. Very small chance of swarf the week afterwards.  But probably w/c Mon. 24th.

Too many other things to do.  :shrug:

It won't run away.  :)

[Your] mum's onions are proceeding splendidly.  :ThumbsUp:  Seems like being last years seed hasn't bothered them much.

Dave

Paper-clips ...  :)

No swarf yesterday, but produced 10 pounds of strawberry jam instead. Start on clipping hedges today.

 :whoohoo:

Nice little crop of Squeaky Clean Charlottes, greenhouse grown in a 12" pot  until a couple of weeks ago when I chucked them outside.  :)

Planted on 25 03 20.  About 11 - 12  (  :headscratch: ) weeks.  1.45kg from 4 seed tubers.

And a couple more pots to go .  :P
