Re: my garden here in Pudsey


The avocado belt, what!! I live in a microclimate, Janet, its called 
the rain belt!! This month I have had 128mm of rain on my patch!! In 
July I had 3mm of rain!! I was out every day with my hosepipe, 
keeping my veggies well watered. And it worked, I have had an 
excellent harvest this year. Plenty for every one. Soon I will clear 
up and revigorate the soil with leaf mould, compost and well rotted 
manure. My poly tunnel needs some repair,then I will plant some 
lettuce, peas, beans and potatoes. This will be a first, so I am 
looking forward to it. The rest of the garden I will put to sleep 
until next Spring. My big job over the winter will be to reorganise 
my shed. I am really looking forward to this, as its getting a little 
full of rubbish. 
I was hoping it would be dry this w/e, but as I type it is raining 
yet again!! So it looks like a quite time in the shed listening to 
sport on my wireless. I also have some wine to make and some ham and 
pea soup to get cracking. So I will be quite busy!!

Have a good w/e all, more on Monday.

Dave in Pudsey.
