 Who to clap this week - how about the people who reap and sow, who herd and look after their flocks - our food - yes all those who work on the land: the shepherds , the farmers, the crofters, the smallholders -those who are producing nearly 50% of our food.Comment

 If all Brexiteers except farmers and agricultural workers were deported, then the UK could be self-sufficient.

 We could end benefits and get the feckless to do the picking. I bet Dominic Cummings has already thought of that....Originally posted by Old Greg View PostIf all Brexiteers except farmers and agricultural workers were deported, then the UK could be self-sufficient.

 There was a time when every back garden around here was planted with veg.
 
 Now, there's just one chap who still bothers.
 
 It started tailing off in the 1980s.
 
 Strangelove Pater was still planting his garden in his 90s.
 
 All I've done is turn that productive garden into a lawn so the idle new owner can mow it badly once in a fecking blue moon.
 
 Similarly my garden is a lawn from top to bottom, with a greenhouse that hasn't seen a tomato plant in 5 years since Strangelove Mater went into a home & stopped nagging me about it. When the fun stops, STOP. When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

 Not a problem I've encountered around here, though we did have next door but 2's goat eating the cabbages once.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostOh so that's what I'm suppose to do with my patch.
 
 How do you stop squirrels stealing your crop?
 
 It didn't do it twice. 
 
 A mate of mine further down west is plagued with rabbits.
 
 So he just shoots 'em. 
 
 I've just remembered that there was a little mouse living in the greenhouse, much to my amusement.
 
 I left it alone.
 
 The mice in the salting house got decimated very rapidly.
 
 The little buggers were climbing up the cavity in the house wall into the back bedroom.
 
 Traps sorted them out.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
