I frequently get  asked what on earth I do with all my time there

Glad it's not just me then    There are some days when things just don't go right and you fail to make any inroads into the jobs you had planned 

Even then it's still an amazing thing to have. I've got sawfly on my goosegogs, my charlottes are proper poorly and my new bed has a huge seam of hardcore running through that I need to get out, but even so, if a few things go right it seems to make up for it all. I love sitting outside the shed and watching the wildlife doing its thing.

I've fallen asleep sitting on my stool in the shed doorway   

I had a much better time at the plot yesterday and got loads of weeding done, plus I picked loads of fruit and veg, so was far happier. It's still weedy and needs loads more work but there's always tomorrow

CQ, Ive done that.  Sometimes, often when weeding I often feel so very calm,  Then a cup off coffee in the shed and a few nods.  Its so real compared to everything else.  Hard to explain.

I love the fact that I have managed two major jobs in the last six months, a new greenhouse (now operational), and rebuilding the compost bin from pallets and shovelling the big pile of weeds that had built up last year into it. The one corner which was almost impregnable is now clear. I'm making inroads into weeding the fringes and getting rid of the weeds which have grown on top of my ground cover (used as paths).
