I don't visit the plot everyday because...
« on: April 21, 2011, 23:16 »
!.  When I go after a couple of days I can see how much my peas seedlings have grown
2.  I need some sleep on my hols
3.  I can always see something that needs money if I go every day - when I go less frequently I dont get too carried way
4.  Ive got good plot buddies who will water and I can return the favour - win win
5.  Its lovely to catch up with chat that isnt about bees, broccoli or broadbeans


Over to you......

The plot being at the bottom of the garden there isn't much excuse ::), but..... sometimes there just isn't time to potter as you would like. :(

actually I do visit the plot everyday...plot is part of garden with compost heap at far end. All weather path leads from kitchen door to compost heap...no excuse for not dallying in the way.

We have 4 school-age children, Mister works full-time and I have university which means that housework, homework and the laundry pile are neverending. Our eldest three are also involved in extracirricular sports which means they need taxiing around.

it's sooo small (a quarter plot), that at the moment...............I don't have to  :mellow:

Sometimes I just go and sit there for the peace and quiet, if my garden is noisey with children playing happily, but loudly :)
