....and for the next task

....you will need a trowel and a strong back. Over the next couple of weeks we'll be planting approximately 5,000 plants by hand, preparing the base for a new packing shed, picking and pinching out the Sweet Peas and trying to remember to breathe in between jobs.

The weather is absolutely perfect this week, it's been sunny enough to dry out our soggy old soil and remind me why I like working outside. The plants are behaving as if someone has just turned on the switch and doubling in size each week so once they are established them in their final growing space I can leave them to get on with it.

Oh yes, I've just remembered ...I'll have to start cutting then, won't I?

Best find my trowel.....
