Your toes are important and they are zero rated for vat.

specially for Digeroo today, stand alone toecaps, wear them with stilettos and make planting holes by just walking across the plot.

I have found kicking weeds is a good way to get rid of them.  What I need is something like that with a hoe attachment on the front. 

The stiletto sounds a great idea for planting leeks.

day 16 and the only secateurs you will ever need. I send mine back for a service now and again and I am sure they just send me a new pair.

Could you stop leaving your vegetables lying about the place.  It is attracting flies, they are crawling all over my computer screen!!

Today is the day for these, plant on the shortest day, harvest on the longest day. Eat them boxing day with the cold cuts.

Yip!

I agree, my seeds will be sown in 2-3 weeks time, meaning another gardening year has begun!


Doesn't time fly?
