Wildman Vegblogs

I have not been too well so further photos took a little while there are 4  complete sets of 4 tines i.e. 16 in total

A couple of fine teeth and an couple of sets of course teeth, enough for a set of each with each machine

There is a second pair of transport drive wheels for use with the hoe

Black plastic sheeting covers fallow ground to prevent weed growth and to warm the bed ready for planting out the broad beans and onions. I am still looking to sell all of the rotavator equipment as one lot. I may be able to help with delivery at cost depending on where you are. email for phone number to discuss any offer please cheers.

Despite the cold weather the tomato plants that I started indoors on the livingroom windowcill are flourishing, two trays are ample to give me a crop this year. I think maybe the cactii will all get their marching orders next year to free up more space. I am very tempted to try and get some runner beans to germinate now indoors, anyone tried it?

following an accident several years ago my back suffered a lot of damage, with advancing years, athritis and the cold weather I realised the full extent of my limitations today and that along with the acceptance that they will not get any  better I have decided to sell my entire collection of “Merry tiller” stuff, there are two machines, plus another engine, probably half a dozen sets of various tines, plough, potato ridger, hoes, transport wheels and a pair of large dive wheels (for ploughing)plus the attachment to turn the machine into a finger mower with a 3ft cut. Ideal if you want to cut for hay, or just cut weeds.  I will get around to taking some photos if anyone is really interested. I am looking for £300 for the lot, sold seperate on ebay would certainly fetch much more but thought I would offer it all to fellow vegbloggers first. I would swap it for a coronet Major or consort woodturning lathe with attachments or W.H.Y.

I am not  giving up gardening but must reduce the amount of work I do. There is a photo of it in use in one of the earlier blogs.

In the mean time raspberry canes are all tied back, tomatos and broad beans coming on nicely and managed to buy my onion sets today. I will put some in as soon as the ground stops freezing.

Daffodils are in bloom here and that is really early, snowdrops were out  mid December. The black current bush is in bud als, The garden is really confused by the weather
