Activities and Anniversaries.

I haven't posted for some time.  But here are some jottings on recent activities and anniversaries.

May 2005 marked our access to our first plot.  My husband likes to recall that we had a just small canvas covered tool store, minimal tools and a lot of time and energy.  That is all you really need, plus patience and commitment.  The second and third plots and the structures - the shed and our two greenhouses - came in later.  So did the gifts.  So many people have given us money, tools, books, seeds and other stuff in kind and we are grateful to you all.  Our thanks. 

Moving from eight years to ten weeks.  That is how long it has taken us to get our leeks going.  This Tuesday we planted them out.  Once again, I had to demonstrate how to 'do it properly'.  So, we were forking over the soil, digging out weeds, raking and spacing out planting holes for leeks,  Each leek is now at the bottom of its little hole awaiting the slow filling in of soil over the summer.  It rained afterwards and I was glad.
