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.

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!

Westi

Even the horrible jobs on the plot, give great satisfaction when completed.
Trust me to be awkward.

lol westi , big ones with extra long legs. Hope your shed is well away from your bathroom, and keep the bath plug in

OH, that's not being awkward....its being perverse

I agree with you Pa Snip,its a never ending task. my next pet hate is culling cabbage butterflies and other troublesome pests. JP.

I dont have any pet hates after a life time of working its great to be retired i love every miniute of it ,most of my working life i hated the job i was doing we had 10 years when i was working as well as helping my wife to run a shop we owned ,most weeks was 7 days a week 7 in the morning to 11 at night but it nows payback time when im not down the plot im out fishing or as now over in spain for 3 weeks its a hard life but some one must do it
