Confessional

[HeyWayne]

Forgive me farmer for I have sinned. It has been some time since my last confession.

I have been unfaithful to my plot, and have been having unclean thoughts - filthy ones in fact.

I have not visited the plot since last year, and I am fearful that she will turn against me.

I have been intimate with another garden closer to home, and have tended its bushes.

I beg forgiveness and promise to attend to the plot in earnest at some time soon.

I too have to confess...I have neglected my duty to care for my garden over the winter months. As I look out of my kitchen window I have straggly mint that needs a trim, dead bits hanging off mi chives. And the deadly sin of a fungi old tomato plant in the blow away. I shall hang my head in shame....

[binley100]

Some sort of penance is in order .......

[Jeanied]

Oh for goodness sake you lot - get a grip. It's winter!!

[arpoet]

Go down on your knees and beg forgiveness.. and dig me up some Snips and Artichokes while you are down there.

Yups, nutters ain't they but excusable. We all get a bit stir crazy when we can't get out and about due to the weather.

That's nothing! You've been neglecting your blog as well dude!

I think my sin is greater than thine - I have 2 utterly neglected plots, 3 greenhouses still full of dead plants, and 2 gardens at home desperate for a clear-up. My neighbours are moaning about me because this neglect extends to a mahoosive prairie grass next to the front wall which pokes people in the eye as they walk past I have scrubbed no pots, cleaned out no propagators or seed trays and sown no seeds.

I fear my penance will be to work my ass off for the next 5 months...

So this saying that gardening is relaxing is a load of old tosh then

[Florence Fennel]

There'll be no absolution for any of you. Get your fingers out!

Relaxing !!!!!!!! What's relaxing about it? You sow your seeds then peer anxiously every few minutes to see if they've germinated. Once they're up it's have they got enough light, have they got enough water , do they need a bigger pot , are they safe from predators..........

...and where am I going to put them all?

I've not been up much this year as I was ill over Christmas / New Year and then it rained all this weekend when I'd thought I might do a bit of clearing. Was thinking yesterday that I'd managed to do a lot more in the autumn before last winter so was in a better state at this time last year but the weather was so awful that everything was frozen solid so there wasn't much I could have done.
