That's loads! You should be very proud!

Silly mare, thinking of giving up

**lottie dolly** · 26-05-2008, 02:14 PM

well done girl,it is to easy to give in and shout defeat,blooming cleaver to keep at it,and achieve,you come accross as a go getter,like red rag to a bull,a bit like me.

Well done that Piskie! Knew you had it in you. Sometimes it's good to take stock - you can overlook how much you've actually achieved. Just tied up my sweet peas to the canes today - they're about 10" high. 'Twill be a while before I get my first bunch I think.

the good thing about the rain this last two days is that I won't be faced with concrete to dig over tomorrow ..... yaaaaay.... every cloud and all that

**zazen999** · 26-05-2008, 03:24 PM

Piskie - we covered up half our lottie with weed suppressant; and it's pretty much concrete where we haven't had any cover; but where we have - when we lift it and dig it is quite soft underneath. It's only been on certain sections a few weeks - is it worth covering bits up prior to digging to try and keep the ground from drying out?

That's without any water on site; the only water we have at the mo comes from home in squash bottles and goes on newly planted stuff only.

Good to hear you haven't given up; you know you love it.

and in addition to all the list above - when I was on lottie yesterday, pulling weeds as ya do - I noticed several poppies and some baby euphorbia .... poppies I can understand but euphoriba

nice tho

I keep finding red and green lettuce seedlings on my lottie. I put some of my own compost on the beds and I do remember adding a seeding lettuce to the heap last back end! Anyway, I keep potting them up and moving them on. Nice!

Funky Nell! You've done briwyant, well done lil lady.

Never knew you'd come close to packin' it all in - well the plot at least, bet you're glad you dint now eh?

I scattered a load of "meadow" seeds weeks ago on a little bed outside the plot boundary and I haven't seen a thing yet - plenty of weeds but.

Keep up the good work pikie!

**piskieinboots** · 28-05-2008, 03:56 PM

**Flummery** · 28-05-2008, 03:58 PM

Why? Where are they?

**piskieinboots** · 28-05-2008, 04:04 PM

on the palms of my hands - ouch!

**Flummery** · 28-05-2008, 04:07 PM

Oh. You don't sit down with the ferocity that I do then?

**piskieinboots** · 28-05-2008, 04:09 PM

it seems that I hoe with ferocity

**shirlthegirl43** · 28-05-2008, 04:57 PM

Salt water bathing will help the blisters Piskie - helps toughen the skin too.
