Other things take up the time

   Well what can I say? In the eleven days since my last blog was published I have not achieved a lot at all! This time of year can be very depressing when there is so much one wants to do yet the weather is against you. Christmas is around the corner so that will also mean little getting done. Man!
   So what has been done? I have started to prune an apple tree. This work is ongoing and will take a couple of years before I am happy with the three old trees I have. Anything else done? Oh yes raked up some leaves only for the chickens to scatter them out again. Next time I will rake them up and clear them away! And that is it! Other stuff has been done, like cleaning out the chickens and processing two of the four turkeys but not garden related.

  A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to any readers!
