Today i skived to the max! took a good book with me and spent most of afternoon and evening sat on an empty upturned bucket of chicken pellets in my shed doorway, flask and sandwiches next to me. Bliss.

I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

<censored LOL> weeds  :D spent whole day to do that kinda endless job. On good side found tomato size watermelons  :D Played around tomatoes - side brunches will become another plants. Today another lovely day, already did some watering and planted(finally  :wub:) basil. Will plant some more tomatoes, capsicum(paprika or sweet pepper you choose how to call it  ::) ), dig out first batch of potatoes. Need few more days without rain, so can start to build one more temporary(for a couple years i guess) retaining wall above the house and prepare soil to plant beans, eggplants. So see you later  :D

Watered the greenhouses and cut some grass.
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Hacked down and took two car fulls of blackthorn to the tip. Weeded and watered my tiny bed and looked proudly as my emerging seeds, each no more that two leaves and some that may possibly be weeds ???

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

tidied the back garden in preparation for some short term decking from pallets, while waiting for a bunch of paving slabs to come up on freecycle so I can patio it.
