Male pheasants are really dumb, they actually wait at the side of the road until you are passing.

You are spot on miss C....there's loads of them up our back lane. I slow down to walking pace when I see one near the side of the road and then they just dive under the car wheels. Nightmare:eek:

My current glut is beetroot and French beans.

In a couple of weeks it will be turnip :eek:

I'm usually jealous of all you green fingered, gardenny type folks and your fabulous hauls...but not today!

Today, we found a local fruit farm and went fruit picking with DD1 (I had DD2 in a sling)

It was a great afternoon and we hope to make it a family tradition. Just a shame we didn't know about it earlier in the season

Just finished a Valued Opinions survey.

It asks me whether I am Male or Female and tells me to tick one box only:rotfl:

What I really long for on those questions is a tickbox for "no"

That's what this person would have needed.

Anyhoo here's a choon

Almost as dumb as pheasants! Many a time we have been out on his bike and a pheasant comes out from the hedgerow :eek:

pheasants and motorbikes are clearly not made for each other. So many accidents caused by the pheasants

We have sevral shoots locally that breed pheasants. And sometimes its lethal.espeacily with motorbikes. Even cylclists have collided into them.
Though ds best mate loves it as he has harris hawks and ferrets and fills the freezer up. He can get 20 a day when they have a big shoot:rotfl:

I have only ever seen one badger in my life, and that was on the side of the road.

I've really concentrated on what I will use this year. So lots of onions and garlic, cut back on the beans because they're only liked by me and have totally given up on any sort of brassica.........I cannot find any way to keep those white butterflies off them. I was driving myself mad caterpillar hunting and making weird looking 'cages' out of old trampoline parts and netting :rotfl::rotfl:

I roasted my first beetroot the other week (when I was in jail ) I was very pleased. This was all my own work
grew everything except the feta and prosciutto
