Getting ready for 2010
« on: October 21, 2009, 15:48:03 »
Was out with my camera this morning and I thought some of you might be interested in my progress in preparation for next year;

As you can see quite a bit of winter digging and 'mucking' done, Spring veg planted and some veg progressing in readiness for harvesting over the next few months!

any tips ?

As we used to say............sky hooks  ::)

Seriously though I was about to do mine this summer, managed to wire brush the loose muck & lichen off but never got round to actually painting it.

My plan was to use a brush tied at right angles to a stick/cane to do the ridge.

I also considered getting a sheet of cardboard the same size as the roof glass panes and spray!

But as I said I never got around to it :'(

When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
