Weeding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like painting the forth bridge. You know full well that the damn things, or their successors, will come back.

When I look at photographs of when I took the plot sections on
I know I am winning but it seems a never ending task that I find the most soul destroying part.

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Cleaning the shed!

Try as I might I always end up with bits of spilt fertilizer & compost on the shed floor, mice shred plastic bags I take down to bring crops home, single gloves because the other one has holes in it, minute amounts of seaweed feed & the like I thought I'd get one more out of but now it's gone hard, untidy rolls of nets & fleece, collected bits of broken hand tools I mean to fix etc.

Not all that hard to collect up & take down to the tip but why I hate it the most.......SPIDERS!

Even the horrible jobs on the plot, give great satisfaction when completed.
Trust me to be awkward. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
