Default L'eponge est a le retour

Greetings all
Not posted for a few months as just gone through a traumatic time, lost my job, partner left me and generally not altogether brilliant.
Got another job finally, no longer in the Sahara desert but now in the jungles of Chad.
Still have my arms and legs, can still dig when I get home, and am sure my raised beds are coping ok on their own.
To all that I promised seeds to before I disappeared, and to all who sent, many apologies and many thanks. I am home (same house with massive garden) at the end of this month and I give you my word as a gentleman and a scholar that all dues will be paid in the seed department.
Cheers
Chris

Welcome back, I find it amazing that when you get out in the garden growing, planting and harvesting that all your troubles can seen to deminish in size. Hope the garden looks good when you get back.

Welcome back bobleponge. Things always seem rosier in the garden, so chin up. You never know what's around the corner. (usually a damn site better than it is at the minute)
