~~~ Gardening is medicine that does not need
a prescription ... And with no limit on dosage.

Oh gosh, well thank you and hello. How lovely - I go awol for eight months and still get more happies on here than cards in the post.
I had rather fallen out of love with my garden for various reasons - the slugs have been vanquished but the voles have taken over and ate just about half of everything I planted out in 2016, including the only seed that germinated of my home bred chilli
. We had a cold drought, then a hot one and germination rates were dreadful, so I just rather chucked in the towel. And then I had to dig up and bin 200 odd leeks that had become infested with onion fly.
World events were/are a little distracting too!
But on the positive side I was fit and well enough to get out and about visiting bits of France with the tent for the first time in a few years. And I finally replaced my ancient motorcycle with a new one. A lot of running in then followed ...
All in all, The Vine rather suffered the consequences but I am now back. Sorry
The seeds have been ordered, beds piled up with muck and a brand new Hugelkultur bed is ready to be planted.Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/Comment

Belated happy birthday to you PP. Good to see you back.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
