Of Gardens and Bombs

 Im trying to rally the troops to put in a bit of garden slavery , its not going well as putting in a wee bit of time and effort seems pointless to them , just growing for me and MR BH doesnt involve a lot but i can see that the rest of them just dont get that the biggest cash saving they can make is to grow your own and i have a vast garden that is now mainly unused. I just need the annual garden bonfire to set the spuds in and the spring bramble cull to take place . Im sure there are certain family members who think a hello fresh box is a better idea than putting a few hours in the garden that they can then abandon for granny to weed and water till harvest . Beggers belief really , daughter grows bits in tubs she has a tiny garden , i have space for bulk winter crops here and i think we may need them this year .  On that thought useful son is being made redundant next week may give him a rattle , it seems he needs a 10 year checkable work history at his current job it being local government , he cant supply this because he was a carer for grandad for two years . AAARRGGHH  . 

I do think the people of Russia have got a truly terrible fate awaiting it seems our Pound shop Churchill is broadcasting propaganda to the Russian people in a bid to topple Putin . Really ? I dont think the Russian people have much to say about Putin he is a shameless dictator , much in the way that Boris would like to be . Many brave people are protesting in Russia but they have arrested 1700 people in one night , something that only features in Priti Patels wildest fantasy's here. We live near to a huge airbase and the activity is day and night now , if you live here your used to it but its certainly frightening the incomers . One of our more nutty locals did ask if my bug out bags were ready for when the bombing starts , i pointed out we would be going nowhere , partner cant walk more than a few meters , so here we would stay . Ho hum i really need to get that gardening done

  1. I think growing your own is a great idea. I have a tiny front patch and a habit of killing everything, but I may yet have another go this time.

  2. May I admire your "dug in" nature?

    I garden in large pots in Louisiana, and while it's certainly a fool's game! I persist! Have a bell pepper blooming under plastic and towels this morning. Nights at freezing or a little above, days 60's & 70'sF.
