Good grief… still yet more inactivity this week. I’m losing the plot – well, plots quite literally! Two or three weeks of inactivity and it’s just all a complete and utter mess out there. I stand by the back door looking out and wringing my hands, then retreat inside to busy myself with some other inane job.
The fact is, I need to spend some really long hours out there. The ‘bloody digging’ issue just won’t go away, although there may be some light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of ‘no dig’ approach to creating borders and plots. Hurrah! Apparently you dump a whole load of soil and matter onto the grass, and eventually the worms will appear and do a lot of the work for you. The worst part for me is getting the really compacted turf off, so if that issue can be solved in part and I can try and dig in the spring (ever the procrasinator), I wouldn’t mind that so much. The worst thing is the cats seem so smug, all curled up with not a job in the world to do, showing me how lovely and warm it is inside and how lovely it is to snooze the afternoon away. Really, I should stop being such a limp lettuce and put my jobsworth hat on. Spades at the ready!
I HAVE to do something soon, I really need to be locked out so I can invest some time back into the Smallest Smallholding. It just doesn’t look very pretty out there at all at the moment…and I need a REALLY big barrow.
