You could try those metal wire tent pegs until the ground softens up a bit, I use them on some of the hard ground around here, bit heavy to carry a load, but better than knocking in wooden pegs at the minute

im happy to wait , plenty of other stuff to do

Aye...........and those trousers with the hole in them are now in the bin!!!!!

 

Wish we were suffering from the heat just now! We've been down to 6 degrees recently. Gales yesterday, so we couldn't get out. Today was pretty decent though, although we had to use the break in the weather to gather up BBQs, buckets, planters, etc, from where they'd ended up!

 

Won't be long until we get a chance to get out fro some serious bags though

13...... sounds good to me.

 

i use the tent pegs, i think they are great. i just bent them right round and braised them, the eye is closed tight.

tho where i am the land is anything but hard, wellies needed & nothing but rain.

Sorry mate, was quite funny though

 

The big bags will come when all those nettles die back

Instead of dock leaves try this.. Snap off a piece of elderberry twig from near the end of the branch, peel off just the bark , spit on it and rub it on nettle stings. Almost instant relief from pain and itching. Well worth remembering. Works on insect bites and stings , been used for years.

the sap from the stem of the nettle works just aswell and you dont have to go looking for it
