To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds, and watch the renewal of life - this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do. - Charles Dudley Warner

Brass Monkey Sunday
Our first time to man the trading shed this year. We tried to keep warm by weighing and bagging fertilizers, bird food etc. We had three visitors all morning and only one of them bought something, three bags of stable manure. Our site took over the running of the trading shed last year and we are ( well Reg mainly ) trying to smarten it up a bit. We are just beginning to show a bit of a profit which will go towards the upkeep of the plots.
After closing we meant to do a bit of hoeing but the wind just cut through us so we called it a day. I don't mind the cold but the wind really whips across the site at times. Our garlic and onions which we planted last year seem to be doing really well and I gave them a scattering of chicken manure pellets and will now leave them to fend for themselves until harvest time.
Felt really bad on the way home as we had to buy some veg, I really must learn how to store more of our stuff .
