With all thats going on in the world , lets get on to the important stuff . Gardening. This is a bonus a whole week of sunhine and frost and a almost helpful son . Plus the council turned up to paint the outside of the house with just a letter through the door the night before . Bless , though how painting a door that was disintergrating as fast as they were painting it was a fresh challenge for them, and ive just been watching them paint over the huge patch of ivy on the house opposite a quality job as usual . Now i just have to persuade one of my slaves to put back all the big planters theres a couple of monsters that i cant move an inch to put back . Raspberries are chopped down awaiting compost piling on them , apple trees are pruned , hazel branches cut down for my bean rows , more seeds to pop into pots today . Spring bonfire pile growing nicely , i can always blame the builders..lol inspected the potato sets today , just starting to peep so plenty of time for them .
Now lets talk politics , theres no nice guys in the world of politics , but boy have we got some really epic nut jobs around the world at the moment , what will happen? who bleedin knows , the one certainty is the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer , it gets harder and harder to eat to a budget , folks cant afford warmth , something will give eventually but you cant speculate on what , i think its a bit like Jenga theres all the big moves you get away with and then become more and more blase about, till a tiny little thing makes everything collapse ...those are the times we are living in
Here's hoping your garden will be epic! I have just started my tomatoe plants, and hope to get some cabbage and brocolli going this week. I think with the good old US of A tariffs, etc, a garden will be essential this year. I have apple and cherry trees, rhubarb, gooseberries, strawberries, garlic and raspberries. There are lots of wild berries around here as well, if you don't mind picking and watching for the bears, haha. There are quite a few local market gardens with reasonable produce for the root veg and such. Take care! Barb from Canada
