    That all sounds eminently reasonable to me. Have found many people don’t want to help out for the greater good on allotments or anywhere else for that matter - worked for many years on public open space and most people were only interested in what they wanted from the space and signs were meant...

    Or, if you want the definitive guide to grass identification books in the UK and some online resources: https://bsbi.org/grass-id plus at least a x10 folding hand lens / loupe or, if like me your eyes are not what they used to be, x20 :lol:

    Encouragingly there is a growing “movement” finding new ways to use wool around the world. Here in Britain we have what used to be the wool marketing board championing its use (last link) https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230413-can-regenerative-wool-make-fashion-more-sustainable...

    New fence is looking good. Better to do it right first time even if slowly than rush & have to fix repeatedly I think.

    @Perris & @Shadrach a small diversion if I may? Tax to follow later. Following on from the post about Solomon’s Seal & as you are both in westerly parts of UK I wondered if you had come across Bath Asparagus? https://wildseed.co.uk/product/species/wild-flowers/ornithogalum-pyrenaicum/ I have a...

    Neither picture looks right for jungle fowl but they may have been painted by someone unfamiliar with chickens or jungle fowl or be a particular stylistic way of portraying them maybe?

    Do you think the seesawing temperatures are contributing to Mow finding the recent warm spell difficult? Here it went from 15C to 26c within a few days and is sliding back down to 3-4C tonight and 12C tomorrow. I know I find it difficult to adapt & I’m not a walking duvet!

    , yup, https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/15885/flowering-currant/details. Hardwood cuttings work, like you would for blackcurrants etc. Basically shove a stick cut from the dormant plant in the ground +/- in winter :D

    I don’t like many of the acid foods neither does my gut so to add to the list, rhubarb, which grows like a weed on my allotment despite my best efforts over several years (gave lots of dug up clumps away)! :oops:

    I might if it had elderflowers in there too. Mother Nature made a bit of a timing error as elderflowers are mostly over by the time the gooseberries are ripe

    You are right, not a fan of green gooseberries as they are mostly underripe. Properly ripe red and even green (just before they go over) are OK, just about :D
