Five things that you didn’t know about me. Difficult one if I am going to keep it gardening related.
1) 2006 felt like a bad year, what with doing an Open University course and with the blight / blackfly / slugs /cabbage whitefly / rain / cold / wind / syringe needles (thrown over the fence from a small playground) - I gave up on the year! 2007 is a new year and I am hoping it will be a better one.
2) I have a stonking cold after coming back yesterday from a week away in the Algarve.
3) I am not a winter person. I am a wimp - I don’t like the cold and rain and wind.
4) I like listening to The Archers with the organic broad beans that have some chocolate spot and the potatoes the supermarkets won’t take because they are too scabby.
5) I am jealous of the Algarve weather - their broad beans are already over a foot high, potatoes are growing nicely, peas are climbing up sticks, fresh picked oranges are wonderful, plus there is little risk of frost (mainly if been dry for a while).
I started this post in early January. I don’t know why I didn’t continue it. I know I have neglected this blog over the winter months. Hopefully with “spring” on its way (daffodils are in bud) and with seed sowing starting, I will write more!
