jok 3,113 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Strange you should say that but when you look through the narratives, many are taken in the wrong context. What I think is what I say but by gum it causes some grief. That aside, hopefully that last spat didn't do any damage as most of us held off planting for a couple of weeks. And by the way, come and dig mine anytime. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,303 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yes cracking weather unfortunately work all day then busy this evening with the dog so it will be tomorrow for me for a plot visit. Got a couple of 1 ton builders bags. I read some where about chucking your weeds and compost stuff in them whack a couple of squash on top then when they are done a bit of winter veg. Then cover for a month or two and you got nice compost. In reality sure I will end up with a 1 ton bag full of stingers and other weeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,113 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Made the most important delivery to the allotment today. 12 gas canisters for the morning brew and bacon butties. Even bought a new stove. Whistling kettle. Schools out on volume of beer. Oh I do love that place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
