Richard's Veggie PatchRe: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014Looking good, Richard. Mind your back though.
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014Because of work, then house sit, then back problem, I haven't done any gardening at all for 8 days and at this time of the year, not good news.
However I did manage a bit of weeding this morning. I couldn't use the hoe, not enough bumph to get it in the soil, so I squeezed the handle of my trowel into a length of 1 1/2" basin sink waste pipe and went from there!! ![]() Looked a bit like Richard Briers in the Good Life !! Stupid, I had the same thing exactly a year ago and went round making the holes for the Onion Sets with my walking stick ![]() Richard ![]() New Member?

Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014Looking great Richard. You look far more relaxed these days.
![]() Oh! the garden looks great too. ![]()
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014I think you're right Jannie, I am more relaxed, not having to clock watch so much and the must have that done by Thursday because I'm working for five days.
I do miss the Cricket work though - but secondary to one's own wellbeing ![]() Richard ![]() New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome

Re: Richard's Veggie PatchHi Richard,fab-u-Lous, I have a couple of hours today I hope in the patch at home, but am on call for a Hospital, so no doubt will be in at some stage, so up early to see if I can get a bit done. You are very ahead would be my thinking!

Re: Richard's Veggie PatchHere I am, March 2016 !!
Much to do. My herniated disc has been playing up lately so I'm pacing myself plus only doing about half the area I've done in previous year. It's that stage when you think you'll never get it organized....but you do ! [center] ![]() Richard ![]() ![]() New Member? Get more from the Forum and join in 'Members Chat' - you're very welcome
