Sorry about that Peter,

The worst is over mate, after all it can't get any worse than smashing your favorite beer tanker can it?

Cheers.

******. Just remember mate, things can never be as bad as working at you know where!

(Pete and I worked together at the most woeful place I have ever come across. the only positive thing is that Pete introduced me to AP!)

And I was sad about losing a handfull of fingerlings

I almost had a seizure when I read what you said BD... up until the point where I realised it was a typo, I thought you meant a tanker... as in a truck full of beer

Peter, I thought we couldn't grow in-ground veges? How are you growing carrots? Thats so awesome!

[Peter Webber]

Hi Livinontop,

I have had some luck with baby carrots which are great in salads. I think being a shorter variety helps them in the AP growbed. I have seen some short almost round carrots on the diggers club website, and I thought I might try those next.

Your Silver Laced Wyndotte?
Jesus.

[livinontop]

Bluegill....what?

[Peter Webber]

This was my Silver Laced Wyandotte. I bought two a month ago. One got tangled in a garden hose and died of stress, the other was pecked to within an inch of her life by the other chickens and died of her wounds on Sunday.

I have now learned not to mix pullets with adult chickens.

Hi Guys,

My AP area was getting a bit cluttered so I knocked up a potting bench. I was inspired by a library book "Weekend Woodworking for the Garden" by Cindy Burda. I'm not much of a handyman and I made some mistakes but I'm pretty pleased with the result. I decided to make it bigger so I had to add additional bracing.
