It's all work that needs to be done Bob ( as you know my friend 😉) Have a great day and take care ATB 👍

😂 funny I thought it would need more bricks especially with the weather you’ve all had lately. Great to let people know about the fuel too. Don’t forget to make sure your drip irrigation system is drained for winter once you get freezing temps. Looking good Woody the garlic should do very well there. I don’t have a cat problem but I think it’s so hard because anything you use just gets washed away in rain. Leeks look amazing 💪. Have a fantastic week keep warm, Ali 🌧️🇨🇦

Wise words indeed my friend 😉 I may need more bricks to add as you observe. Yes, I've disconnected the irrigation system already, so that should be fine. The cats are a nightmare tbh 🙈🙈🙈 And it's really going to be a challenge to know what will deter them 🤔🤔🤔 StAy warm too my friend ❤️

Those leeks look good Woody!

[@cumbrianhomestead]

Thanks Tim, I am planning to make a pie with them ( chicken, mushroom and leek, maybe add bacon and ham or some kind of variation 😁) 🍻

time for the winter ,

[@cumbrianhomestead]

Yes it certainly is my friend ❤️

Brilliant Woody! Good advice to get the E10 petrol out of the mower (and other tools)! Cats - CATS! I covered a bed with hooped netting and a cat had a dump on to top of the netting 12" above the soil level! I give in, honestly!

[@cumbrianhomestead]

Bloody hell mate, that's some nerve from those cats! 🤣🤬🤬🤬🤣🤬🤬 ATB MATE 👍👍👍

@@cumbrianhomestead Honest, I'd send a photo but it is crap quality! (Serious though, it happened yesterday!)

[@cumbrianhomestead]

@@DigwellGreenfingers I believe you bro Before I put that polythene down I must have scooped out a builders shovel full of cat shit; I didn't know they could shit that much! 🤣🤣🤣

I grow soft neck in Bolton, Lnacs for a few years and it's fine, got mine in already and it's showing some green even now. What do you store those leeks when you dig them up.

[@cumbrianhomestead]

If I need some advice on the soft neck garlic I know who to ask Lol 😂 I just wash, trim the leeks and keep them in the fridge until we're ready to use them Kath ( only dig up what we need for a week or two) Have a great rest of the week ahead ❤️
