Be careful HOW you avoid people
If at anytime you should find yourself walking down a street and notice somebody whom you do not wish to converse with approaching from the other end, be very wary about which store you duck into in order to avoid a meeting.
I have just ducked into Wilk0s and ended up purchasing a flat file, pair of bolt cutters, some screwdriver bits, two grape vines and a kiwi fruit.
The people I was trying to avoid also walked slowly so that on exiting the shop I STILL bumped into them.

Let's all hope and pray it is this mysterious kale variety. I'll keep you posted.Last edited by veggiechicken; 26-03-2015, 11:32 PM.

Today I planted 20 Arran Pilot first early potatoes. Then I did some more inter-bed paths with wet newspapers covered by chipping mulch. I've got a third of the plot done now!

So I fortuitously had the day off on what was a glorious spring day so spent it working on my veg patch.
This is my second full year in our current house so while I dabbled in growing fruit and veg last year thought I would try and get serious this year so...
Today created a bed for my raspberries and planted 6, also finished creating an asparagus bed and got them planted (6) and planted out 70 onion sets so been a busy day!
Now just need to plan what I'm going to do with the other half of the patch

This is what I did yesterday.
Fixed the fence separating the main garden from the veg patch. I now have a gate down the bottom so that I can get the wheel barrow in. (It's on a slop so there are steps at the top).
Potted on my normal tomatoes.
Put my dahlias into pots in the greenhouse to give them a head start

Tomorrow's forecast is for heavy rain for most of the day, so today I went to the Hill and:
- Moved the netting tunnel
- Planted out the first and second earlies
- Picked some sprouty tops off the kale for tea
- Admired the newly freed up space where the out of control pallet composters were - my neighbour had a bonfire in the week and used all the twiggy stuff that was in there as kindling.
this is before:
and after:
