Secret Santa

Santa me a gnome.  I can't believe my luck.  Another gnome.

Recovery and hibernation

It took a while for me to gain the enthusiasm and momentum to come back to the plot to start digging and planning again after Thames Water's inconsiderate distruction of my lovely "nicola" potatoes and the general disarray and mayhem, bits of rubbish and debris they left behind them.

But onwards and upwards, it is all cleared up.  The miniature cabbages survived the trauma and I did manage to dig up a whole side order of potatoes in the end.  I am sure there will be a few more left in the soil to sprout up next year.

The ground is so solid now, it is time to put the tools away and plan for next year.  I already have grapevines and blackcurrents on order.
