rain and then follow up rain in the next month).

this drought has gone from green drought to full on, we are goinjg to
have to connect the rainwater tanks into the system pretty soon as
even some of the more established trees planted this time last year
are showing the effects, so if we are not lucky/careful we could lose
what we saved from the frost to the drought.

with one of my credit cards so it as it wasn't a light frost.

we have been getting mulch hay for 2 bucks that is now up to 2.50, so
the staw is off the manu while it is 8.50.

doing isn't there?

no not up yet it is one of those many things that have been put on the

the edge of a flowere bed as they do in with the herbs).

this one is not the chives we have white and blue flowering g/chives i

they).

mmmm dunno just thought i heard of wild garlic mentioned somewhere but
could be wrong.

great to chat with you again fran, oh would it be ok to divide the
rhubarb about now i have one surviving clump that we have been eating
from the stems are now very narrow the flavour is still the same. the
comfry we managed to save from last years lack of water and the winter
frosts is looking pretty good about now.

take care
