  • Things could be worse...

    I visited the plot yesterday for the first time in months - things are better than I'd expected.

    Ok, so I have onions and garlic that are "re-growing" (never dug up last year's crop), and I have a bed of potatoes that were never touched, some beetroot that's likely to have had it, along with some parsnips...

    However, I can see that with a couple of days hard graft - and the help of Neet, I should be back on track soon enough.

    Just need to get planting some seeds...

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.


    What would Vedder do?

        Pressie for Neet then! Make sure it's a nice one. Maybe some gloves to prevent blisters.

                I don't think she will.....that would be a bit much too soon, I think. O the other hand, Bean would probably love it!

                      We will - soon enough. Possibly at the weekend - weather permitting.

                      Caterpillar hunting was not so successful - Bean decided he'd rather kick a ball about, and go say hello to the chickens.
