No help at all.

Some people make work look hard, others make it look easy, then
there are those that can turn their back on it. These are my two helpers.

New Life.

Five minutes from our front door and we are in the countryside.

Is there a problem Jen?

I've noticed the new look and new header, hope you
have not gone private I would really miss your blog
if you did. So if you have I would really REALLY
like to be a member of the team.

SOUNDS A CRAZY PLACE L.A.
Thanks, all's well that ends well!!

Oil seed rape.

Last September I photograph the farmer ploughing and planting this
field. It takes eleven month from seeding to harvesting this crop.
These yellow flower really smell awful, but they look pretty.
At this time of year England resembles a patchwork quilt of green and
yellow squares.

The King.

A Fern in the garden awakening to a new year. It reminds me of an
octopus unfolding its tentacles.
Dryopteris affinis Cristata "The King". I don't know, latin's double
dutch to me! That's what it said on the label.

Three must haves.

Three things the garden needs for a good show.
Everyone needs food including plant life. Flowers and veggies need
food. Young and old plants alike need protecting from slugs and snails,
kill them or they will eat your garden bare.
Ants love soft fruit, plus they are a nuisance sort them out.
Organic, it's a load of cods wallop. The garden world is full of pests!

The last few weeks have been good growing weather rain and sun.
The real cold weather has gone but we can still get some ground
frost right to the end of May, so best not get too cocky!
