If you are wondering what on Earth this list nonsense is about (especially the first one that popped up unexpectedly – well ok, I altered the time stamp and back-filed it.), well it’s like this: I’ve never been much of a gardener, and luckily Miss has been. But with the pressures of work this year at school, Miss had little time for sowing and planting and I picked up the ball a bit – then discovered I quite liked it! But I know nowt about gardening except that it aggravates my hayfever in high summer 😛 so I’m having to take it slow. I’m blogging what I sew, plant and harvest; what worked and what didn’t, and what failed so spectacularly that we all had a laugh at ‘back to the land’ bish…
