The sun is out......

Well now…..as I’m not in Scotland tramping up mountains this weekend…..and to take my mind off the continuing mess that Gordon ‘the idiot’ Brown has helped to get my company into I need to get into the garden.

First and most important task is to empty out my parsnip drums and refill them. I know that sounds daft but it has to be done otherwise it just sets rock hard and gets too compacted, making the hole-boring a tough job. Also, as I refill each drum I drench the sand every few inches with a disinfectant to kill any bugs and disease spores. This year I will be using cheap bleach for this task as Armillatox and Jeyes Fluid that I normally use are just too expensive in these credit crunch days.
