i took a wee wander out to our sad looking garden today with it’s sodden lawn and half cleared out greenhouse to think about where i would ever start to get it producing some veggies again.. i have done a lot of flicking through seed catalogues over the past few cold wet weeks but when it comes to doing anything about it, i can hardly face it. i’m all talk and no action. so maybe if i compile a plan then next time the flicker of an idea to go into the garden pops into my head i will have a place to start…
- I need to clear away the decaying, probably putrid vines from last years tomato plants (which became decidedly overgrown and produced very little in the way of fruit).
- Same for the cucumbers.
- I could do with cleaning up all those little pots i lovingly planted seeds into last Spring and which bore such delicate and beautiful seedlings (before the rather flimsy pre-Greenhouse construction blew over in a gust of wind and sent half of them to their deaths).
- I would like to top up the raised beds with the lovely compost which i hope has come from the wormery (however i feel terrible as the worms have likely all died as it had become so infested with flies that it could not be opened or used for many months..) i would then like to clean the wormery out, ready for some fresh worms and some lessons from last years attempts..

Gardens can be frustrating things, most people like them but few can be bothered putting in the work. Perhaps that nice husband of yours, that you talk about so fondly, will help?
