Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

It was above zero today but still lots of frozen ground and ice.

I did dig over one bed, just to allow the frost to penetrate further. I hope it will crack some of the clay and kill a few slugs & snails (is that rather nasty?)

Re: Loyalty is punished!

it kinda narks me every month to feel like I'm being punished for being loyal. Me too! The constant need for push back is tiring and wasteful.

Unless I am deliberately digging a hole, all my digging is done with a fork.

Re: Jenny Agutter is 70 today

I drove steam locomotives for about 25 years....and always kept a sharp look out for red petticoats being waved... Did no one arrange for this for you? The undergardener & I are going for a steam journey in March, I'll suggest it! [url]https://saphostrains.com/journey/the-golden-arrow-04-03-23[...

Re: Merry Christmas everyone…

I am having the same issue as OH. Log in (but it won't take it first time). View topic. Type in reply. Doesn't post but thows you out. If this works it's from taking to Peter's advice.

Re: Snow!

Precious little has melted here. I doubt I will try to get the car out tomorrow; the penalty of living on an unadopted road is no gritting (fair enough) and few cars. The snow gets compacted and if it freezes overnight I would slide around for sure (rear wheel drive, only weighs 525kg, ordinary, rat...
