Ah….about those humane traps
I have discovered a problem with these traps already Well I wasn’t expecting this, I can tell you! I got up this morning, let Scooby out and came through to the living room with my coffee. That’s when I heard Scooby barking like crazy – not his usual ‘there’s the little dog I’m in love…

Teeth pulling to garden gratification
It’s been a bit of a week……again! Well my bloggy friends, it’s been one of those weeks. This isn’t the first time we’ve been here so I’ll spare the whole attempt at a witty intro and get right down to the nitty gritty. A month ago, you may remember, I was a nervous wreck as…

Seeds!
Sowing, potting up – all things seed. I’ve been trying to stay on top of the seed sowing, potting up etc but already I’ve run into a problem. I don’t have enough window sills and the space I used in the living room last year is not available this year so I am going to…
