Garden Day

A Bonfire Calls

   Today we are having a garden day, we both agreed that we need to get up to date with the greenhouse and kitchen garden jobs. We need to have that last bonfire to get the ground clear of tree cuttings before I can start setting out the beds and we need to get a lot of seeds sown in the propagator's on the heated bench in the greenhouse, I'm guessing it will be a fight with Yvonne to see who gets the bonfire job as we both like it, I have a feeling I'll be in the greenhouse most of the time playing with seed trays, compost and seed packets.
   I'm hoping I can get a few pictures taken as I want to keep a record of how the garden is changing so I may post a few on here over this coming week, I think it must be my age but I seem to want to keep records about my life, this blog is a great start as over the years so many older members of my family have left us taking their stories and life experiences with them, I guess it made me think about keeping my thoughts and my journy in life for any of those who may be interested in the future, I can just hear them now, "You remember old great uncle Rob, he was a funny old sod, he played with fire and glass all day and spent hours sitting in his garden watching vegatables grow", well maybe not that bad.
   To be honest as some of you have already guessed I do enjoy writing my blog now, before I used to miss days sometimes weeks at a time but this last few months I'm always thinking about writing, ok my life is far from exciting but it's real, I have the struggles and problems that most people have but also the good days and interesting days that drive us all on, I don't hide anything, it all gets mentioned and always will, I just hope some of you enjoy it enough to keep you coming back for more.
   Ok, it's off to get compost for us then the garden calls, I have a strange feeling they may be a few cuppa breaks today with it being so cold out there, enjoy your day.
