The old soapy garlic and chilli spary may be worth a try. I will give it a go and let you know how we get along. <br /><br />JoeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079297503130568269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042695994170787789.post-9949145408739603832012-02-29T21:47:43.584+11:002012-02-29T21:47:43.584+11:00Well I never! there is someting strangely fascinat...Well I never! there is someting strangely fascinating about the idea of exploding cows.

I'm going to water the plants with seaweed solution to increase the minerals they need as the wet weather has probably leached the soil and made the plants susceptible to pests. I've never seen these little nasties before and I'd rather not see them again.<br />Looks like the makings of a veritable feast were available at the Crop and Swap, right down to the posh pink 'plonk' :D.<br />Love Joe's new fashion!<br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042695994170787789.post-285600544587356242012-02-29T06:42:14.715+11:002012-02-29T06:42:14.715+11:00Ah, yes...exploding cows...Joe they are real and i...Ah, yes...exploding cows...Joe they are real and it does happen and it wasn't a stupid question. For a more detailed explanation you will be required to stay at the farm again. Luckily there is a discount for Funky Frontyard Farmers.We haven't stopped talking and planning since you left us with all your wonderful ideas.<br />Thanks also for telling us all about Crop and Swap - I predict it will go global.
