Born the last days of March, so just over 4 months. She's walking ok, hates the nose tongs though so we've stopped using them. Has a habit of putting her head down and rolling her shoulder so I fall on top of her.

nose tongs are only for punishment , too many people use them to lead them. Is it not hard on your leg leading her? Do you have someone walking behind her too?

The Oh isn't from a farming background and can't get over how farmers seem to have inbuilt night vision.

But we can't have you off your game, don't forget it's a team & your only as good as your weakest link.
We're not greedy, we'd only take 1, Reggie the other & sure the third for you after you get home from Creegans

Dusting off the knapsack sprayer 15litre capacity to use Roundup bio active to kill off grass where the OH eventually wants flowers set,would 200 ml in 15 litre be effective enough dose rate?...thanks for any quick replies.

I'd put in 300 ml just to be sure as I've noticed that weeds are harder killed this year

Remember being told by a woman that years ago, at local show, her about 6 year old son was sticking his hand through 'barrier' of the display and picking bits of one cake and eating it. Judging had taken place but this cute lad was eating the winner's cake cos there red rosette on it and red was his favourite colour as same colour as his daddy's tractor.
Commitee not see what went on and there big row from other exhibitors when cake that looked it had been attacked by crows had won first prize.
Must mention it to his best man if this lad ever getting married and hoping he not have done same to wedding cake.:D

Bold Daisy. Bold Daisy.

as i said before it would be my worst nightmare. All we can do is make 100% sure we know where they are at all times, we are lucky that we have a secure garden that kids cant get to yard unless we let them. Have a 6 year old with zero sense and you would need eyes in the back of your head for him:cool:
