happy new year everyone :-)


And to you and yours.

we are bringing in the new year with a lot of mulching, fertilising,
planting out and tidying up of dead things from spring (everything got
out of hand before xmas when i couldn't find the time to do anything
much). the veggie patch has had a makeover & is looking exceedingly
organised & lovely (i like an organised veggie garden, me).


I do too but I've found it grows too if it's a mess and outside my beds,
it's an appalling mess at the moment. And given the heat we've had int he
past few days it can stay that way till some coolth arrives.


well, hello - it's cool today!! hop to it ;-)

i just find i don't really know what's going on if it becomes a huge mess.
as though the eye is overwhelmed instantly g. i also get a bit thingy when
tomatoes need staking, or whatever. which reminds me to stake the tomatoes
again...

so, what are you all doing in the garden atm? if you're all having beers
on the verandah & just looking at it's lush loveliness, i shall die of
envy g


Did that earlier this evening after the offspring and the granchild
arrived. The offspring even cooked dinner - all I did was make a salad and
serve out some strawberries from the garden which I'd had marinating in
some sugar and brandy - yum.
