Black fly!
I have never known such a bad year, I have black fly on nearly every crop that is not covered.

[Dorothy rouse]

Wh is it, or why does it appear, that you sow a crop,of 'mixed leaves' they grow beautifully, you eventually dig them up, cos they have bolted, and you sow mire, having replenished the soil, and then Nothing!

[Nicos]

You know how you look forward to eating the first of any variety of crop, and the first one/two are really, really spesh?

Well, we'd been leaving our raspberries until there were a small handful each to munch straight from the plant.
We had some friends over at the beginning of the week and they asked to look at the veg plots and flower beds, so we proudly started to walk them about the place.

When we got to the raspberries, one of them said..."oooo...these look ripe", picked a couple and shoved them in her mouth

I KNOW!!!...our FIRST two raspberries

Is anyone else possessive like that???

Yeh, I forgive her- but I won't forget about it this time next year

I thought my overwintering onions were ripening nicely.



But when I give one a poke with my finger, it's soft. Lift it up (5th one up on the right hand side of the picture) and what do I find?



Nasty old white rot! I hope they aren't all going to be like that.

That happened to me once Nicos - my first ripe cherry tom of the year!! She's a really good friend and I've let her know about it every year since I was gutted.

My rant!! Forgot to sow my purple sprouting for next year

Clients, At the beginning of the week we walked round your house and discussed all the radiator site's. Now when the job is finished, filled up, inhibited and working you want to change your mind. And what's more you expect us to drain down, move the radiator and repipe for FREEEEEE!!!!!

Don't know what planet your on but it ain't this one.

I can't find my tv paper and when I pull up the guide I get "no event information". Aaaaaargh.

Husbands with a free day. It was suggested that the garden tidy-up would continue, so I went out to do animal jobs, happy in the thought that he'd be sorting and clearing all his sh!te.

Came home to fine he had emplied MY gardening shed - all over the ruddy lawn...

[alldigging]

Am absolutely exhausted. Like someone has removed all my get up and go.

[Nicos]

Why does jam have to have so much sugar in it????

I've tried substitutes and it really does not taste anything like jam made with sugar.

Now into week three of bad throat / earache/ cough combo. Have tried every remedy I can think of, perhaps time to see the doctor. First available appointment 10th July! How are they going to cope when 600 more houses are dumped on the village.

Neighbour with a bonfire. He did ask us yesterday when we'd be burning our pile, and I told him I was going to wait until he'd put out a line full of laundry, like he did to me last time! That made him laugh! he lit his a while ago, and now we have all the mozzies and aphids...

Silly summer cold, feel pathetic! ( also causing me to have nose bleeds, cos of heat), great if you're wearing light clothing!
