I am going to (hopefully) strip graze the Kale behind an electric fencer and give the cattle exercise in the fields. If the inclement weather (like this week) gets really bad I will bring them some in the transport box. <br /><br />there's always something that attacks your fruit or veg. Seen lots of cabbage whites recently. Hope they don't like Fodder Kale?<br /><br />Glad to hear Raggy Cat is OK.<br /><br />Thanks!northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-77120797612108327362013-08-03T07:55:14.262-06:002013-08-03T07:55:14.262-06:00Sounds good, how long will a big bale last 7 cattl...Sounds good, how long will a big bale last 7 cattle in winter, with some fresh kale for greens?<br /><br />Yes, the slugs always beat me to any potatoes I ever tried to grow, I stuck to onions and beans, they seem safe from most bugs except black-fly on broad beans. My 6 potted peas are ready to eat, not as many as I thought, but very nice, and my bucket potato seems to be thriving as well.<br /><br />Weather today is cloudy and breezy, No 2 son got the back grass cut, a good job done, just leaves the little front lawn for me to do, funny enough it doesn't seem to grow as fast as the back.<br /><br />Raggy cat been asleep on my desk all day, just gone out.cumbrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047500383078884463noreply@blogger.com
