Puddles all over the track but at least it's not running all over the place, so should be soaking in and doing some good. Saves me having to water the outside plants, and lets me get on with the dahlia cuttings, pity my back wont take the work like it used to. I get a pain under my left shoulder blade, so no form of support belt will help. David @ the wet end of Swansea Bay Time for an apprentice, David? Is there a horticultural college near you where there are students looking for work experience or day release work? * *It's steady, fine rain here today. *The gravel under the cars isn't wet but it's a gloomy, grey, windy and horrible day. *Amazingly, while the nursery has had quite a few customers the tea room has been packed to the rafters since it opened. *I think people who would go round NT gardens, walk on the moors, take a picnic to the beach etc., have decided that the only antidote is a nice lunch somewhere and forget the horrible weather! Even the birds are trying to escape it. *I just found a tree creeper in our bedroom! -- Sachawww.hillhousenursery.comwww.hillhousenurseryt earoom.com South Devon An apprentice, I wish. I made enquieries about the Modern aprentice scheme a few years ago but No good, they had to be supervised at all times, so if I had toi go out they were not alowed to do anything. I could train a blind preson in 16 weeks to cross a busy main road in the middle of town, when I was working as a Mobility officer for the blind, but I couldn't train a 21 year old to hold a hosepipe un- supervised in less than 2 years. Then I aproached a train agency about having someone on placement and was told they would love to place someone with me, If I could just do this, this, this and this, I said to them that if I could do Tha, that, that and that then I wouldn't need anyone to work for me. Then there is Elfin safety, all paths and tracks should be smooth, and free from obstacles, provision for a warm and dry work place etc etc, I'd be left doing the hard work out in the wet and cold. It would be easier to pack up and retire David @ the wet but now rain free end of Swansea Bay. |
