Leaf Me Alone
Leaf Me AloneYesterday I had an enjoyable day out in the garden raking leaves and burning them. Our garden seems to be leaf central and after a couple of days of the wind blowing from the orchards I needed to do something.
After 6 hours of raking (I did have a couple of breathers and lunch to break it up) and carting the leaves, about 20 barrow loads, up the garden to burn them I was done. I'm ignoring the veg bit of the garden and Flannigan's paddock for now hoping the wind will blow them the other way I'm glad I got it done before the temperature dropped and it started snowing.

Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: Leaf Me AloneCome on now Dom - man up. I think that raking leaves and burning them is a lovely pastime - mainly because I have a teeny garden with no trees, plus I can't really have a bonfire
Also, only 6 hours with several breaks? I made pies yesterday for 6 hours without even a coffee You're such a girl Is it actually snowing where you are? It's bitterly cold here Helen xx

Re: Leaf Me Alone
Maybe but my garden alone produces about 3 cubic yards of leaves, even when squished down, each Autumn. Then During Autumn/Winter when the wind blows from the woods/orchards out the back I get two or three times as much again. I'd need to turn the whole garden into a compost heap to process all that my garden produces, the chicken poo and all the leaves that blow in from elsewhere. I have about 6 cubic yards of compost bins at the moment which does me. Dom Ali Woks My World

Quote from the proprietor of the The best exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful Re: Leaf Me AloneAbsolutely, just think of the calories you've burned you can probably award yourself one of Mrs B's CKK as a reward
just don't tell her I suggested it The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have
