Weeding for miles

One of the main reasons I went and found myself a Handy Helper is the garden had got away on me.Β  I had been managing the garden and my projects, but it was a very fine balance.Β  It just took me losing my balance and falling down and twisting my ankle to lose my grip on the garden maintenance.Β  And it went south in so … Continue reading Weeding for miles

The weather has packed up again. I could garden in the rain in my sturdy red raincoat, but I don't want to and at this point I don't need to. The garden is in a good position with most weeds conquered and most beds enriched with nutrients to nourish a new generation so (aside from all the projects) all there is to do is wait. So I picked up some light reading. To be honest I don't know where it came from but there it was ... just waiting to be read. The Amateur Gardener by A.G.L. Hellyer (1948) says in the preface that it's 'sufficiently up-to-date' with the latest technical developments and scientific information as a result of horticultural research since the two wars!

I can't say I'm pleased about it, and am still not sure who it was, but I will confess to chopping off the bad bits and eating it anyway - and it was everything I had imagined it would be... absolutely delicious! : o) ...
