How's you maize looking?

[DRC]

it's up but needs some warmth.

 

[TomB]

Much the same as yours. Has improved from dandelion yellow to lime green. Hope fully better forecast will do the trick.

 

[Henery]

That's further on than mine, but at least it's all up here now, might just make it with the forecast we have for this week, needs hot hot hot ...warm warm warm will have to do.

Mine looks much the same. going to put some N+S on it next week. After last years wash out me and the agronomist decided to save some fert for top dressing, will see what happens.

Worryingly I can find slug damage if I look hard.

Nice to see a Taarup tedder, there was a tedder thread a while ago and I seemed to be the only person who liked them, mine is exactly like yours and been no bother although not used much now, still a worry that those upright pipe things will snap off some day through metal fatigue and cause mayhem among the tines.. Did you not have marker-boards too?

My landlord got permission for that blot on the landscape.5yrs on ,and it's still not finished and they ended up selling half of them to Telford and Wrekin housing ASC.Bearing in mind we are 25 miles from Telford and the residents are like a fish out of water in our village.Never had so many police cars in the village since!
The transport links are not good enough if you don't drive.I have also had trouble with dogs, as they all seem to have one and don't understand what a crop is!.
I know it sounds very sterotypical, and me an old bigot, but it's true!

They are very popular here, and touch wood, haven't broken a tine since new!
