Birds Xmas Tree

Spent Sunday afternoon on the plot. We have discovered that to maintain the plot 2and a half hours is just enough at each weekly visit this time of year. It has taken me two years to learn to slow down and finish one job before I start another and if I don't finish then there is always tomorrow, it is after all a hobby. I must learn to relax more.

Barbara redecorated our small Xmas tree for the birds and really enjoyed doing it. You could hear them all in the trees chattering urging us to leave so that they could get to the feast.

Tried a bit of hoeing but it was really to wet so pruned our winter raspberries and tidied the herb garden. We also sorted out our compost heap. It has taken two years to get it to a usable state and the next time that we need some good compost we can use our very own, how good is that?

We have decided to try to grow one vegetable that is new to us each year, this time it is Kohl Rabi. Know very little about it so any recipes welcome, will update on how it goes.

This Sunday ( 22nd ) we are off to the Potato Fair at Dulwich, all very exciting.
