Rural Buddha Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 What a great looking spot the electric plot is @lofthatchfarms Good photo of the deer too, usually one look and they're gone. Looks like a Roe deer buck - aka roebuck. Excellently dealt with the 'trespasser' too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofthatchfarms Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Quick update fellow gorillas, due to the babies not having the best start in life and having a couple of issues with the light falling on them I decided today was the day to start getting them in there final homes, there not nowhere near as big I would like but hey ho I thought I would crack on anyway as it seems to be a gamble at the best of time, so I grabbed my bike my bag for life and some plants and headed down to the electric plot, to my pleasant surprise the vegetation has done bits for my already secure spot so I mooched through the jungle to my plot potted up fairly quickly and fucked off haha, now I guess it’s in the hands of nature and hopefully the deers leave my plants alone, no pictures as my phone was dead so I’ll get some when I go back and check there health not even sure what I put out haha forgot already but I’ll let you all know in the next update people 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planned on opening it up mate but life has other plans haha I thought it was a good idea to take my presa Canario bitch on her first bike ride after a couple of vodkas the other night and ended up on getting pulled of my bike injuring my wrist that’s only just recovered from being broken so I’m doing fuck all work now mate I’m in recovery 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofthatchfarms Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Okay people the quick update, I thought with all this weather I’d run down to the second hand plot and see if they need watering and when I got there realised they needed a little more then water haha they all look fucked god knows if they will bounce back or not only time will tell, I gave them all a rinse of water with a top dressing of fbb so hopefully that gives them a boost!! so if you Read the posts above you can see I said I wasn’t going to do anymore work at the second hand plot but having got there yesterday to some unhealthy looking plants and an overgrown plot I had to put an couple of hours work in to maintain the place and while I was there thought I might aswell open it up for a couple more plants just to increase my chances I’ll upload pictures soon peace out people 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofthatchfarms Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) some pictures from last weeks visit to the second hand plot, the first picture is the only plant out of 6 that survived a good looking easy sat and the rest looked like the next picture haha took some plants with me anyway because I’d just extended the space So I popped two gorrilla dawgs and two brainfreeze so hopefully they will be alright and as I stated on the other diary post the electric plot is pretty much a no go at this point with there being a K-9 unit From some sort of security firm right at my entrance I could sneak in another way but Having a security dog myself I didn’t fancy being in the other end haha I will go back in a week and see if it’s still there hopefully him and his dog have fucked off Edited July 2, 2021 by lofthatchfarms 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
