The Green Thing
Update on the farm...
The carrots, rasperries, cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley went in under the supreme and fruitful reign of Anneke.
Previously: the Gooseberries, Plum tree, Quince tree, Apple tree were planted by my aba (dad) as i stood there in high heels watching him dig, thinking that I'd rather live in London and drink cocktails and pinot noir- yes, Fortune has a way of mocking us..)
After Anneke left work was done in patches, here and there half-hearted efforts- actually that's bullshit, I did NOTHING.
But recently, a lot of hard work, sweating and muscle cramps: We have the lettuce patch and a newly cleared patch for the beetroots, plus the potatoes are in too! And there was a mass slaughter of weeds with some planting of strawberries, marjoram and variety of flowers.
We had also discovered a family of Common garden frogs- they are so cute!
