I do all sorts of daft things but I think I always will 

I have just planted my onions, shallot and garlic in a pattern but I ran out of garlic and had to wait for some more.  I got the new stuff and went off to the plot to carry on planting to complete the job.  I'd buried all the evidence of my pattern though. Doh 

Now's the dilemma, do I guess and risk digging up what I've planted or wait and see what comes up so I can carry on ? 

I like planting stuff in patterns as I hate old person rows.  It's fraught though

old person rows? you mean ordinary straight rows, I take it 

You don't have to be old to like those

I must admit, I also used netting for my peas this year as I had some old netting from Poundland in the shed.  When I got fed up unravelling, I just threw the whole lot - netting, plants and all into the compost heap for the plant material to rot down and then I will haul it out and bin the netting at the end!  Thank goodness it wasn't expensive netting - I won't be repeating this episode either!!

I like straight rows, you know where you are with straight rows.
But then I am an old person....

Compostqueen must be very young...

I like straight rows but can't seem to manage to get them straight..

I'm probably one of thos at times too 

Oh and my rows aren't straight either I just like to think they are!

I like straight rows, you know where you are with straight rows, now where did I put my walking frame.

The worst thing i done was to plant raspberry canes, they are the worst weed on my plot.

One of my biggest failings has always been to leave too little room between rows! That's stopped now, with individual beds, so perhaps a thought process was derived from all that struggling to reach the carrots and the beetroot and the broad beans etc...

So, it's not just me then!

H ha haNige!

It's when they're so close together, that you can't hoe without over-balancing, which tends to flatten the rows quite well...;0)

Indeed it does

[Growster...]

Old grits like me regularly used hop bine string for all annual stringing jobs, when we had a hop industry that was!

After the several months of holding those precious peas and beans aloft, it gracefully rotted away to a fine dust, and the language never got beyond ITV4...
