a new year

We're back!

The garden has been sitting a little abandoned for a short time while the rain kept raining but now we're back again with lots of grand plans.

We've been digging - LOTS

Putting a new window in the shed ( possibly increasing the lean in the process)

Making and edging new beds

Setting off some garlic, broad beans, leeks, spring onions, peas, radish, cabbage and rocket

Excavating a fantastic new seating area for boozing and general merriment

Making alot of brews

We came in at the beggining of the year to learn that a whole skipful of lovelty compost had been delivered to the site for everyone to get a bit of, only the canny committee buggers who ordered it nabbed the lot before anyone else knew it was there, so none for us . We wondered why some of the plots looked so good.

Freddie has been in good form lately, we have reason to suspect he may even be starting to believe we can manage the plot and we've shared a couple of bags of potatoes with him. We've got Premiere, Wilja and Kerrs Pinks - the KING of roasting tatties! Looking forward to a few of those with a good steak pie.
