showed OH where to dig the hole, as instructed on here, to drain the possible sump underneath our crab apple tree- also instructed him where to put the heap of soil that came out of said hole then wouldn't go back in!

Hi Y'All

Here in the Wild West it's been raining for two weeks non-stop. But this afternoon the sun broke through and I hared over to the lottie to heel in my raspberry canes which I've had lurking in my shed for 3 weeks now. Good job they were well packed.

Rescued some black membrane and re-pinned it - terribly windy over there - picked Brussels, dug parsnips, now that we've had a frost.

About to leave when the leeks caught my eye, so I had a few of them as well.

After my bulb planting in the garden pots this morning, I feel that I have earned my gardener's keep today, and am well pleased.

Finally got my garlic in. The ground was pretty damp but not sodden and i knew if i didn't do it today it wouldn't get done until after Christmas. One variety was already sprouting so just as well.
Also dug in some mustard and harvested carrots, parsnips, leeks, jerusalem artichokes and sprouts.

Its too wet underfoot to do anything in the garden and has been like that for a few weeks now :(

Moved some big slabs down the bottom allotment to make a path later, picked some Cayenne which had been forgotten (outside!).... :-[
