Balders my daughter is coming down your way for a holiday next week, she always brings sunshine wherever she goes on holiday, it's most annoying! So you should get some good weather next week mate. Any highlights she should visit whilst she is down there or places to avoid?Last edited by Cadalot; 30-06-2017, 06:54 AM.

That's because you live in Devon - you can't expect Welsh sunshine over by there.

I hear its very sunny in Wales - I must have just been unlucky over the past 30 odd years

SP Define NORMAL ?
AS what on earth is the large thing on the left of your location and is that a WWII gun station on the right?
Not mentioning the big aerial in the middle of those two, do you wear a tin foil hat and if not do you think you should?

Welcome to the vine.
I used to live in sunny Rhyl! ( I will never set foot in the place again )
You're very lucky joining the nutters club. My membership seems to have been lost in the post. Probably because I'm the only normal one here

Wow, Aunty I hadn't realised you were in sunny North Wales. Croeso i'r Vine
I'm on the side of a Welsh mountain too and its always sunshiny here
You seem to be have exactly the right credentials to join the illustrious Nutters Club - you must be as you've already joined Welcome to the Funny Farm!
Hope to see a lot more of you when Doctor does his rounds!

Thank you/mucho gracias for info on caterpillars & nutter club. Just some pics - the only shelter we have really is an eight foot hedgerow, but it doesn't stop the window whistling round the side of the bungalow at 50mph.
Oh, and because of some inconsiderates undoing the farmer's gate, as well as the usual pests - slimeballs, foxes, pigeons, badgers, etc. - from time to time we get a pitch invasion from cows. If caught in time we can stand on the lawn with a stick and repel them - it's all go here!

I wish we really could all get together and exchange stories. I'm aspiring to the Nutters Club, if they'll have me.
Have a, as my mate likes to say, Superfine Day
xxxooo

Guess you'll have already looked for information on dealing with caterpillars, but just in case:
How to Keep Caterpillars Out of the Garden: 9 Steps
I must admit, the site of hundreds of fat cabbage white caterpillars on my cabbages and broccoli is a bit stomach-churning. When they're absolutely tiny, I squish them in my fingers. But by the time they get a bit bigger and gorged, I pick them or knock them off and then stand on them. Still gross, but at least I get to eat my greens. Lots of people cover up their brassicas to stop the butterflies being able to lay eggs.
None of the brassica family like windy conditions. Tall plants can be staked, but even smaller cabbages will suffer from wind rock and their tiny roots will break. Do you have an less exposed spots?

I forgot Snadger! Thank you!
Oh, and the slugs and snails around here are so *dumb*, they come out in the daytime! Brilliant for me as I'm usually asleep by 10pm. It's all this country air....
