I hope he has managed to get the wonder drug that shortens the attack if you get it in the first 36 hours or so. It makes an enormous difference.<br />You've done a champion job over the fence. Look out or you might come face to face with an early rising badger !<br />Cheers<br />Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-77887287828565350282012-08-17T09:02:18.763+01:002012-08-17T09:02:18.763+01:00Best wishes to Mr. Marigold, and to you for your c...Best wishes to Mr. Marigold, and to you for your continued adventures in the jungle. I have the same problem here, but my 'wood' is a railway embankment, dense with bindweed, nettles and brambles with stems nearly as thick as my arm. I rely on the badgers to beat a track along my boundary, which they do effectively. It's only a narrow track, but it's like cement!Relatively Retiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648407316162715318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-60381886392406286662012-08-17T07:17:09.822+01:002012-08-17T07:17:09.822+01:00Poor Mr Marigold, shingles is a horrid thing to ha...Poor Mr Marigold, shingles is a horrid thing to have.<br />Well done you for tackling the "jungle", it's the same here, weeds growing like mad. I found some blackberries too and commented how fat and ripe they seem to be (and much earlier than other years).

The climate where I live in the Pacific northwest is very like yours. Every year my tomatoes get blight - yellow like yours. They are doing a bit better this year because somebody told me to take off all the lower leaves. But even with a cool wet summer I have big cucumbers and the beans look hopeful. I hope Mr. M feels better soon and can help with the jungle project. Shingles is a nasty ailment.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979547096244105508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-91586636435384440242012-08-16T22:00:35.964+01:002012-08-16T22:00:35.964+01:00Oh lucky you to be able to pick fresh berries from...Oh lucky you to be able to pick fresh berries from over the fence, still you deserved them after all that hard work.

If so there is a gear beside 'view in Google Reader' at the top right of the page, click on it, it then gives you the blogs that you follow, click on the settings beside the blog you want to delete and you will be able to remove it.Hope this helps.<br />Vivienne xgreenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.com
