We are currently stuck with trains designed over 50 years ago, and paying handsomely for mediocre service. An efficient express service from Inverness to the central belt with reduced journey times would encourage people to leave their cars at home.

Last year I chitted seed in a bag on damp kitchen roll before carefully transferring the germinated seed to cardboard pots with compost. The seedlings were grown on for a while before putting the whole pot in the ground. Worked really well and had monster parsnips in time for Christmas!

FLS statement on the news read :

"Those responsible for these incidents show little concern for the welfare of the species they release or the serious impacts they could have."

The same sentiment doesn't seem to apply to the millions of pheasants that are released each year.

I had an issue with mice chomping my brassicas in the tunnel. Placed a few pots of mint around them last year and didn't lose a single plant. It's a limited experiment, but looks promising!

If only they didn't murder hundreds of whales each year on the Faroe Isles.
