When I saw him in Tesco's I did tell him that for bulk buying of Paxo he should go to CostCo.



oldherbaceous

Now i am worried Peter, he does have a member of the family who works at CostCo.



peter

Would that be the cousin with the nervous twitch and the transit van?

Alot of room in that van.....



alan refail

Dear OH

If you'll take my advice, you really should choose a different outfit for going to the allotment

Dear Alan, i haven't got a Father Christmas one i'm afraid. :0

Evening Old Codger, you didn't trip over the knots with a bit of wood round them did you?

Thank you for the knotty wood OH, if you get shut in the chicken house you will be able to push the knots out for ventilation

Now i hadn't thought of that.

Donedigging, Haven't decided what to grow in 2009 yet,spuds are a must and cabbaged,R/beans,will decide after Christmas what else.
No digging done yet, trouble with the old back, I have covered all the empty ground with plastic.

OH and Snooky you are lucky getting cheap manure, the last lot we had about two years ago it cost £80 for the trailer load, but it did come a distance Evesham way, only 2 chaps on our allotment have had manure delivered in the last couple of weeks, 5 trailer loads between them @£100 a load, they are Asains they grow mostly cociander and onions and expect to get 3 crops of coriander off the plots each year,one chap have 4 plots and the other have 5.
Bren

Dear Bren, you would be more than welcome to some of my manure, but it's not really the sort of stuff you can post.

Dear OH

Have you tried e-mailing it

Our postman will deliver

Dear Alan, if it can't be moved with my barrow, it stays where it is.

We get loads of manure delivered to the site and it's 25p per barrow load All the money goes into the society which is good.

Haven't been to the lottie for some time now cos of the mum situation but I hope to go on Sunday and do a few things. Like have a nice fire in my stove in the greenhouse, read a book and listen to my mp3 player.

After all, it's all in the planning for next season

Sounds like a nice escapism session is planned.
Enjoy!

I dread to think of what books Lizzie reads whilst in her greenhouse.

I hope she hasn't got [How to catch Old Herbaceous in three easy stages] yet.

You're OK OH, I know she doesn't have that one.

"How to catch Old Herbaceous in TWO easy stages" is the volume she's currently reading
