Fairly quick but it’s still probably the most time consuming part. Minimal wastage and leaves the comb in good shape with few failures during extraction.

That’s about it... how’s it working out?

Blackcurrant, which I read can be used as a stand-in!

This is off the freakin chain. How long you gonna wait?

Just caught up on this thread after a few busy months, so much great stuff going on! Miso!! Love it.
I’m growing loads of veg this year, just started a big crock of cucumbers. Wrong type really but they’re coming out of my ears. More here.

My bestie turned up today with a birthday present for me. It’s a hori-hori. Apparently a Japanese ‘soil knife’, cutting trowel, or whatever. All round chunk of badassery, I think it might be on my belt in the garden for a long time to come!

Tried something new. Ottolenghi’s beetroot and goats cheese bread with pumpkin seed, caraway and nigella. Delicious!

Here’s a couple. I must have 50 chilli plants in total... labelling went awry though
-
We did, but unfortunately the rain doesn’t fall inside the polytunnel ;-)
However I am keeping them watered and they seem to be doing pretty well. I got really behind with potting them on (from little to bigger pots) so many are still tiny. -
Great! Happy birthday!
-
Lovely plants!
No fruit on mine yet but they are playing catch up in the polytunnel and coming along nicely. Pics soon. -
To prevent ‘vampire’ loads I suppose? Or anti-theft?
The wiring in this jalopy is bodged to high heaven. Several things are permanently live (brake and reverse lights discovered so far), others ignition controlled, and still more (fuel gauge, horn) enlivened by an independent rocker switch. Might be better to start again...

Although the Landy does come with a starting handle (natch), having used it for the first time last Saturday in B&Q car park, in sweltering heat with a load of timber on and a small audience, I wasn’t in a hurry to do it again. 20W solar panel and charge controller should keep it topped up.

Aye, ‘tis a shame because I like Plex. So, is there a work-around without having to use a different server?
-
Hi all. So, I’ve got Plex Server running on my Mac mini, Plex Media Player on my iPhone and I’m planning a couple of room setups with chromecast audio sources. Also Plex is working with my Samsung Smart TV and I’m loving it, although my sum total video content is one ripped DVD. Anyhoo, I have two questions:
- best way to do multiroom audio simultaneously as it seems Plex only lets me cast to one client at a time.
- a wireless speaker for forays into the patio, that will integrate into the above setup? Not sure if Bluetooth will work if I want it to play at the same time as my chromecast sources with no latency. Budget £200

An eBay search alert awakens from a slumber so deep I’d forgotten I’d ever set it. Years hath passed with ne’er a glimpse. Behold the majesty of this beast:

I really want the 240 estate with T5 engine on eBay. I think I’d end up sinking thousands into it though.
Sell me the C55, use the money to buy and finish the 240.

Or position your speakers properly, put them on good stands if bookies, think about your room treatment.
Motherfucking information please. #5beersin

Not great news, but where are you? go here and scroll down to find a local swarm collector (presuming you’ve checked all the ‘are they honey bees?’ Pictures)
-
A few days ago I harvested some spring honey from my strongest hive. Pic shows a frame halfway through ‘uncapping’ necessary before putting it in a centrifuge. Spring honey tastes great but crystallises quickly, so it’s best to clear it off so it doesn’t mix in with the summer honey, which stays runny.
Since I have more hives than last year, I need to make up a few more hive boxes and frames to ‘super’ (put on top). With the amount of rain we’ve had, if it warms up a bit the clover and blackberry yield around us in the next month could be very heavy.
-
Great work, how did you treat them over winter? Fleece?
-
It’s seems good but I haven’t really observed properly. I use this and a GP hand-winder as my dailies and they’re both accurate.
