I love idioms especially English and Irish one's. Any road. That's another one. I found out on Friday there is a fungus like bacteria that lives in diesel engines. It's called Diesel Bug. It's great at disguising itself and clogging up diesel engines, especially tractors and boats. It's said to live in water and does a great job at ceasing engines and making them difficult to start.
A diesel injector fixer informed us that there is a product on the market that kills the diesel bug. You empty your diesel tank and fill it with clean diesel then add a bottle of the magic stuff and it sets to work killing the diesel bug.
I have been growing vegetables over twenty years and every year there is some crop that fails or gets attacked by something, be it slugs, aphids or blight. I read somewhere recently that the rust that attacks leeks is the same rust that attacks metal.
When we went to the Algarve in April. We noticed how so many of the older cars still looked like new with no rust. They still get covered by the Atlantic salt rain. But they don't rust like cars do in the British Isles. Perhaps it's the heat that keeps the rust away?
It's a typical mixed bank holiday weekend here in Ireland. My potatoes are flowering so I might get my shovel and have a look for some hidden buried treasure today.
