Maybe they can be incorporated into the new feature "Carry on Rock Gardening". Now where's Sid James when you need him?

As Carole Bainbridge & I always say 'the SRGC is a drinking club with a plant problem'... Carry on Rock Gardening is just an extension of that  :o I still think we need to do our own calendar  ;D

This week my tadpoles in the tank of 'pea soup' in my classroom are metamorphosing. I have a floating disc of wood for them to climb out on, but have been catching them to release back to the wee pond from where they came.

Fertilising the plants  ??? Though after all these years there will be little in the way of nutriment left  ::)

Perhaps you could follow it up with 'True Grit', David?

I hope this isn't going to start an avalanche of suggestions?   :D :D :D

Cliff,

Don't worry about me chiming in again.... I'm can't get past the thought of the "wee pond" that the tadpoles came from. :o

Sorry to move away from the main interest of this thread back to our bird feeder but we now have a starling feeding a baby cuckoo. The cuckoo is perched on a branch about six feet from the feeder and the starling is darting backwards and forwards with beakfulls of fat. After I have finished my cup of tea I will have to take my fat balls out again to refill the feeder.

The woodpecker is now attacking what remains of David's 'fat balls'  :P if he doesn't fill the feeder up soon there will be a riot...
