The plot looks to be what every gardener dreams of when starting a new veg garden - wonderful soil (a rare phenomenon is seems) with only a bit of digging and weeding to whip it into shape.<br /><br />I think all gardeners need a bit of a break every once in a while. In my climate, we have a forced recharge every winter, which I quite look forward to - the down-time is rejuvenating and makes you look all the more forward to the next season.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-40150569731643825502018-01-17T12:29:48.068+00:002018-01-17T12:29:48.068+00:00I really must try to avoid attempting to do a post...I really must try to avoid attempting to do a post every day, otherwise I'll have no time for all the gardening I'm planning to do!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-38346880377435967372018-01-17T12:28:27.434+00:002018-01-17T12:28:27.434+00:00Thanks, Chris.

It's good to see you back, Mark - I'll be interested to see how you get on with your new plot, it's a good size (my 'veg patch' is 10m x 3m) and you're off to a good start with your digging! The owners are very fortunate to have such a lot of help with their lovely big garden.
