Saturday 23rd December - Carrots

Spouse, pictured here with a rather large hangover from last night, has gleefully pointed out that it is cheaper to buy carrots from the supermarket than to grow them.

How does that Tammy Wynette tune go?

Saturday 21 January - Shed Erection

Today got off to a slow start with sheds being moved from various locations however with a little help from Lard (on the left of the picture) we now have a shed of our own on site. All three blokes grumbled and moaned a lot but secretly I think they all enjoyed themselves. Nick is turning into Alan Titchmarsh which is rather a worry, he keeps telling us about soil structure and worms. This from a man who has never willingly done any gardening in his life.

Mel & I are looking forward to tomorrow when the greenhouse will go up and we can cover some of the beds with weed suppressing plastic. Nick spotted some daffodils poking up at the front of the plot and we also have some garlic and rhubarb thanks to the previous holder.
