Love this time of year…
Everything is growing, especially in the polytunnel. And, yes, I can see the weeds a well...
An Old Trick
I bought some runner bean seeds for this year. They popped their heads above the soil and there is a problem. They are too tall and sick looking. I'm fairly certain that it isn't my planting but something wrong with the seeds. Three of them have no leaves. They have simply grown a stick. It… Continue reading An Old Trick
Sun and mud
Today has been beautiful. The sun has been shining and it has been a good day. Okay I admit that I woke up with a load of aches and pains. But I decided to push through them. I was able to clear the pea bed... It's bare now but by next week it should have… Continue reading Sun and mud

Who said the countryside was quiet?
I hit my workshop this morning and was about to sit down when I realised I could hear the sheep. At first I thought they were the ones in the next field but they sounded awful close. I closed the lid of my laptop and tried to pry my mind from the latest book - it's getting… Continue reading Who said the countryside was quiet?
