We moved into our new house two weeks ago and we're still surrounded by boxes. The Colonel says it's because we (I think he means me), have too much stuff!!! One can never have too much stuff, surely?
The garden is huge, I'm hoping we haven't taken on something we may not be able to manage. Time will tell. Hopefully time will wait, as it's autumn, until next spring, when I hope the house will be more sorted out than it is today and I can get out there and make a start.
The previous owners did leave courgettes (now marrows), runner beans and raspberries and I have been able to make good use of both courgettes and raspberries but obviously not at the same time.
The raspberries are completely overgrown but there seems to have been a second crop which have been delicious. The runner beans are slightly less than perfect so I am collecting the beans to plant next year. My Grandpa always used that method and thought it was the best way.
We have loads of apple trees of differing varieties and one or two pear trees. In fact, there are so many apple trees that I've looked into buying a cider press for next year. It seems such a waste to leave all the fallen apples to rot when we could be making good use of them.
until next time,
Lesley
