Aphid Problems? Need some BENEFICIAL INSECTS?

All of the wonderful spring rain has created some ideal conditions for aphids (um.. AND MOSQUITOS!)

If you are experiencing some of the same issues as other island farmers and gardeners, maybe you need a team of Ladybirds to help.

We are putting in an order on Monday from The Bug Lady, and imagine it will be most cost-effective to share the shipping costs.

Check it out here and let us know if you'd like to order.

Resumption of Veterinary Services

Following last weekend’s nightmare encounter with the worst of Covid -19, intensive care from the life savers at the Royal Victoria Jubilee Hospital, I am coming to the end of my hospitalization and hope to resume the visits that were last planned for last Wednesday.
All being well around, July 24th.

More information to shortly follow after discharge from hospital.

Take care everyone and keep safe!

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who offered up their used satellite dishes to me. I now have enough satellite dishes to start my own small business, so I appreciate all of your generosity. 

I understand now that used satellite dishes also make good bird baths so if you want to recycle them that way you should try it. 

Cheers,
Alan

Rowboat, Boat Glide and Winch

A ten-foot fibreglass rowboat - it still works but is not likely to be stolen.
The boat glide is a name I made up, constructed of plastic pipe and rope and on the beach in untidy condition.

The electric winch pulls the boat up the glide so you don’t have to. Comes with rope. 
All items free.
