Even tomatoes under glass do not look fabulous this year. Still always next year LOL !! <br /><br />Excited that I can say that now :) In preparation I've sown some globe artichokes (and something else that I didn't get time to label and have already forgotten what it was hahaa - old habits die hard). <br /><br />The beetroots that I sowed last week have just pushed their heads above the soil :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396423156961966846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26319603.post-52235958126767806852012-07-28T22:23:17.894+01:002012-07-28T22:23:17.894+01:00Bet it's satisfying to reclaim the plot from t...Bet it's satisfying to reclaim the plot from the weeds?

He can do way more grunt work in one day than I can in 3, so he's worth every penny (and all the food he scoffs...do all 19yr old lads have hollow legs?!)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26319603.post-13175669640932641602012-07-26T10:28:20.115+01:002012-07-26T10:28:20.115+01:00Yep, it certainly needs something despite being we...Yep, it certainly needs something despite being well manured last AutumnGordon Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796375484099193959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26319603.post-21672822133941681752012-07-25T19:15:07.171+01:002012-07-25T19:15:07.171+01:00Lots opf ticks.
