Been a whole year already !!

[sewer rat]

A year ago today I started working on my market garden business - been bloody hard work, but I can honestly say I have no regrets, even if the weather was a bitch last year, and three crops failed to produce anything worth selling. Starting from a bare field, it was hard to know what would grow well, what would sell, demand for veg boxes etc, but if I have learned one thing above all else, it's that I need to grow more veg !!!! And that can only be a good thing. I'm up to 50 boxes a week now and if I get another twenty or so, I'll employ someone for two days a week to make up and deliver them for me.

Well done Rat, we may come up and take a peek in the autumn and relive you of one of those boxes.

A double reason to be celebrating this weekend?

[Flummery]

Well done that man! Hard work in all seasons though, I should think. I joined in March last year and I remember in the early summer you leaving messages at ridiculous times of the night that you'd just finished work. You deserve all the success.

You deserve every success for all the hard work you've put into the business - I hope word gets around and you get more than the 20 extra boxes.
