Got to get these out soon, so anyone with a spare day & trowel......



Once you've arrived, I'll show you the two greenhouses & patio!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

1 & 1/2 of them (and I nick a bit of Mrs. DD's), they all total about 800 sq m. (ish).

What you can't see is 50 tomatoes, 4 indoor cues, numerous peppers, 100 sweetcorn, 40 geraniums, 200 leeks, sunflowers, parsley, caulis......

I'd love to help DD, but Brian tells me I'm too busy looking after the chooks and digging the rest of my veg patch so I can get my stuff in.

I must be losing it though, as I've only got 90 tomato plants at the moment growing.  2 years ago I had over 200!!!!! lol  But plenty of other stuff to go out too!

I've also cut back on toms this year, grew more two years ago & couldn't give them away, so it's pointless.

We don't speak about last year do we?

You might well have done, unless preserving, which Grannie and DD probably do.
