Evening all. Just had a typical April shower which given that the seasons are all over the place is somehow comforting. Takes me ¾ of an hour each way to get to my plot and back so it was frustrating yesterday to not manage to get my onion sets planted after my shallots in the time I had available. Went back in this morning to complete the job and also tidied up the raised beds I use to grow stump carrots for exhibition. I'm now ready to punch holes and fill them with compost and will get my carrots sown this coming week. Takes the variety I grow 22 weeks to develop a proper stump. Guess what, only 20 weeks till my first show. That's what happens when we bypass spring. There's always next year .
Took the first cut of grass off the lawns at the house yesterday. I knew the grass had grow quite a bit this last week but I was really surprised at the amount of grass cuttings that came off. Compost heap at the plot was the beneficiary.
Best news of the day. Macaroni cheese for supper. Oh and leftovers tomorrow at some point. Yummie

Good night all.
Can somebody tell me how to slow the time down.
Lately it seems there is not enough hours in the day.
My life is just getting busier and busier.
What's this retirement thing people talk about.
Sleep well all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Was out in it he greenhouse potting on some seedlings both flower and veg. still more to do as I am still trying to catch up with the time I lost a couple o f weeks ago, also completed my new shelf as I had to saw up some strapping to fill in the additional length and also decided to and an other couple of supports, also while out, there was a couple of heavy showers, well for getting ready for bed, as if I sit up I might start nibbling in something, and I don't want to put the weight that I lost back on, enjoy the coming week and pass on a smile. Goodnightit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Cloudy here. Perfect for gardening. Except I'm working even though I'm on holiday. How did that happen?
What an idiot I am.
Anyway, good day yesterday at the fair. Bought some lovely olive oil and olives. Avoided all the usual fair tat. So well done me.
Today's plans: get some work done, more weeding, get shallots and the first early and main crop spuds in. Sounds a bit ambitious, to be honest...
Have a jolly day, everyone.

Morning all. Not meant to be working today but raining tomorrow so looks like I will be. Lovely day yesterday, went to the beach for dinner - sausage and chips for children and fish and chips for OH and I (small portions though!)
Then all played on beach including dog. Looked for razor clams but tide not low enough. Did get some cockles which are currently purging in a bowl of seawater in the fridge, ready for eldest to try tonight - thinking butter, garlic, shallots, white wine and a bit of cream - yum!
Have a good day whatever you do, better get myself and children dressed now..Another happy Nutter...

Good morning all.
Dull start to the morning and the sky quite overcast,
Nothing on the cards for today which makes a change,
I am sure I will find plrnty to fill up my day.
Have a good day all.

And your hands begin to harden.
