Not been too good these past few days, not feeling right with my head. Yesterday was a killer.........had 10 ton of manure delivered, had to get barrow it onto plot, otherwise it would get nicked....i enlisted OH, Gordon and his grandson to help. It took ages, i also weeded but nearly killed myself, my head nearly exploded and I spent the afternoon/evening on my own in bed. I now realise I HAVE to stick to my own NEW rules, only do an hour or so......

Well the manure is now in...

Well it isnt all work work.......but u know what I mean. All greenhouses now sparkling clean, most beds dug over and weeded only 3 left to do!!!

I waited this morning for man to bring me 20 bags horse manure for 20.00 but he didnt arrive, I got home and he is delivering tomorrow instead.

Put some fruit bushes in and the went to aldi with OH, bought loads as usual. Going to sow some more seeds and chill on the vine for a bit.

LOST tonight yiphee!!!

Well been to the plot today, been very happpy with my work, weeded 10 beds, only 4 left, burned old wood and planted strawberry runners, its all looking good, Defumigated both greenhouses and weeded. I was the only one up there but it was good to get out and about.

Rest of leeks have rotted and just got to finish putting muck down later this week,

A good day in all

Been up to plot, had to go and have a look.......burned some old wood, put the kettle on and danced aorund the fire trying to keep warm. Picked some sprouts and kale for tea and decided to come home1 Its freezing, icy and the plot looks beautiful, especially the ice hanging on the kale.
