Err, I think it was Old Codger who set that one OH, you'd upset him more than usual that week.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Evening Peter, Old Codger might be setting the trap again tonight.
Whilst playing a bit of a trick on Old Codger this afternoon with a petrol can, i had a most unexpected surprise.
I was just going over to the allotment with the said petrol can, i had only taken about three steps onto the road when a camper van pulled up wanting to know if i had run out of petrol and needed any assistance.
Now that wouldn't happen if one was in real need, i know.

Would that be the fire I saw lighting up the sky to the west this evening?
There are tidier ways of cutting back the hedge between your plots you know.

You just can't beat a good bonfire.

We have had a fair number of fires around us the last few days: burning heather on the grouse moors! Looks quite impressive, the large columns of smoke against the evening sunset sky. But it must cause a lot of pollution.

How frustating for the old boy.

Spring cleaned the greenhouse yesterday using Jeyes Fluid solution and a scourer. New Jeyes does not smell as nice as old coal-tar(?) formula Jeyes.
My new "Stewart" two standard seed tray heated propagator, £28 from Wilkinsons, is now at work.

Think i better watch i don't get sunstroke today.
I'm surprised how quick the soil is warming up and also very pleased with the way the soil is breaking down, getting some lovely seed-beds ready.
