Building A Raised Bed

Building a raised bed using linkabord. Removing the rocks took the most time!

Blueberries in a Bath

A trip to The Village, cooked for by a top chef and planting blueberries in a bath

Sowing Peas

Late sowings, shopping and a method of sowing peas in half trays with perfect spacing.

Setting Up Raised Beds

Made a good start setting up the raised beds on the vegetable plot.

Drought!

Drought in the east, drowning in the west and yet more digging out the garden plot.

Foraging

Foraging. A book review - it's really rather good

Digging & Strimming

Finally got my strimmer going, bit of a rant about 'ealth an' safety and digging up rocks and yet more rocks

Was that summer?

Finally a bit of summer arrives and our bulk delivery comes as well. Although a bit of a delivery problem.

Answering some questions on e-coli, weedkiller, cuckoo spit and onions.
