I spy rhubarb. What are the other fruit bushes a bit further back?
Your a glutton for punishment Johnny but I am sure you will get on top of it.There was a day I would tackle such task but thankfully thats long past now, so best of luck to you I look forward to what you do with it in the years to come.As the say make hay while the sun shines, I am afraid my hay has turned into silage now !
Roughly what is the size of this new plot Johnny?
full of weeds
Quotefull of weeds As they say up here You don't get out for nout!Plus; To get effort out you have to put effort in!But I guess it will be worth it in the end, and you do have around 5-6 month to get it ready.So take it steady.....Rome wasn't built in a day!
That's good progress. When you get frost that should help to crumble the soil more finely. And it isn't a race. When it is so cold and windy, slow and steady is much better. Maybe I'm showing my age here, but I find I put my back out far more easily in the cold.
i only use a border spade that's why it takes so long
i try to warm up with a less stressful task to get my muscles supple
my soil is so sandy the wolf soil miller comes into play.
I'm sure your age has nothing to do with your back you just a lot wiser and know your limits something the younger amongst us have yet to learn.
Quote i only use a border spade that's why it takes so longEEE lad get yer sen a decent spade Quote i try to warm up with a less stressful task to get my muscles supple I can just see you doing your Charles Atlas bit. Quotemy soil is so sandy the wolf soil miller comes into play.Why don't you get the kids off the beach to help you out with their buckets and spades?QuoteI'm sure your age has nothing to do with your back you just a lot wiser and know your limits something the younger amongst us have yet to learn. Now I wonder if I come into the category? Glad to see you are having fun just like I am now, now that I have finished for the season BTW you may have noticed I am enjoying your progress reports ...Tg
tg i could never fit you into a category it was be too vast
Quotetg i could never fit you into a category it was be too vastI was referring to my 'age' i.e. me being the aged and you being the youngster. My next question is; Based on what you have told us about the amounts you have grown this season, what are you going to do with all that extra produce from your new plot and a half? I know we have come out of Europe so are you going to get on your bike and take your surplus to Europe to feed all those immigrants that are boating/swimming across the Med? Why is it that an image of an "Onion Johnny" keeps entering my head ?
