Sunday before Xmas

Posted 23-12-2007 at 06:24 PM by rustylady

Haven't managed to get back to the lottie since 17th. Manic at work. Still have more broad beans (Sutton) to plant out but they should be OK in the cold greenhouse for a little while. Frost this week, and freezing fog this morning. The blackbirds have at last started eating the pyracantha berries.

Neither my fork nor spade would dent the ground but as the leeks were required for boxes, they had to be lifted, hence the desperate measures. Sure it would have made a funny photo, but I wasn't laughin at the time !!
