I have put my back out again, after - yes - doing too much.
The extended vegetable patch is not just extended, but fully dug. No more grass, no more nettles, no more poppies (let's face it, they get everywhere). It is now 10' x 30', plus a nursery bed. No help, no machinery. No more digging until sewing time. Woohoo!
Only the rest of the garden to sort out now then...
Oh, Happy Birthday Dad!
