        In...District Nurse beans.

        Out...Primroses, growing in my shady border.

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.

                  Oooooh, I quite fancy this little challenge.

                  There will need to be a bit of planning required - so will probably start it in a day or two.

                  The one big problem though is I haven't been doing any gardening for several months - so I've got nothing for the 'OUT' bit for a while.

                    Kelvin Where's the what's makes me happy thread?
                    Kelvin's back with videos!!
                    Life's too sort to watch them all but I'm glad you're back with us.

                    An OUT can be an intangible thingy - like enjoying the sunshine, feeling good, listening to birdsong, getting rid of a load of rocks!!

                      And when your back stops aching,

                            In that case...Sunday, First day of Spring:
                            In- a number of seeds sown, bird feeders filled, time in the garden
                            Out- a spectacularly early asparagus only slightly nibbled by slugs, kale, and general happiness caused by being in the warm spring sunshine for a couple of hours with no pressure to do anything or be anywhere.
                            V.P.
                            The thing I grow best are very large slugs!

                                Too stressful. So sometimes I'll just watch things grow and fade, tis the way of things.
