Apple trees. Compost bin and soil stack at the back. Dinghy in case it really rains.

Looking great there Derbex.  I thought that the dinghy was your effort at being Noah ;)

Your plot looks Brilliant derbex.  It looks like it is in another season to ours   - we feel as though we are still in the grip of winter.  Your rhubarb is great, I love those early forced ones they have the best taste of all. Send some of that good weather up to the North East please.  busy_lizzie

Thanks all.

Only relatively Tim -I'm feeling it today from playing 'Sticky Toffee' with the 7 year olds yesterday :)

The weather is weird here -there were a few days when it was just right -like the above in the morning then cloud and some rain at night, back to frost now. Lovely in the day though.

As to the dinghy -you'd be better off in the fish box. I had to drive it back to shore with my foot over the hole in the floor, 2nd time I've done that.

My neighbour is convinced there's a body under the chard bed, with no fly-overs being built you've got to put them somewhere 8)

One of these years -furthest I've got is Calais so far, started off in that little blue one, but quickly transferred to the bigger white one.
