Veggie Patch Saga Continued

So, end of day 15 in the veggie patch.

I can hardly believe how lucky I have been with the weather. Especially since the harbingers of rain, namely Jean and Margaret, have both been expressing out loud their desire. Last time they did we had the best part of two years non-stop...

I estimate about another three solid days work to go...if my knees hold out.

The muck heap migration has started, now in place for my preparation of the fruit bed.

The rest of the garden is now beginning to suffer from neglect. The rose bed needs weeding, nettles/brambles are re-colonising the high bank and I have a forest of ground elder in LB6/7.

On a positive note it looks as though it could be a bumper year for gooseberries.

About Me

Hels
I am married to Paul. We left behind the rat-race in October 2005 and moved up to the Scottish Borders. Our house is located in a very beautiful rural area overlooking the river Whiteadder. Since giving up work I have adopted two retired rescue greyhounds, Poncho and Jen, who are adorable. I am a 'serious' scrabble player, and have represented England in 4 world championships. I am now eligible to play for Scotland. I am one of the top rated players in the UK and am back to being the top rated female player in the world. That is how serious about it I am :)
