Hi Tim ,
on the last pic the Plot looks so wet - how can you work in it? My first garden cost me a looooot of money and it is just a hobby for me.When I bought this house I looked first to the garden ( what can I make from it ) and then I looked to the house :o)

Regards :o)

Hi guys! Sorry, I almost missed this one :o)

> a hobby? At any cost!

That seems to be the way it's going :o) I'm hoping to offset some of the cost of all this timber, by going for reduced-price plants and seeds whenever I can.

> very few mussels left in England

I can well believe it. Modern/intensive agricultural practices have a lot to answer for :o(

> do you know when to take chrysanthemum cuttings

At a guess, June (the best month for most soft-wood cuttings, I believe). I've not tried my hand at them as yet.

> Have you moved that compost heap yet?

No :o( It looks like it'll be there for a good few months yet :o)

>the Plot looks so wet - how can you work in it?

You're right, Rita. 'Mud-Hopper' was a well-earned nickname I once was given :o) Fortunately, the bit I'm next due to fork over, I usually remember to cover beforehand with some of that old polythene sheeting, so it generally remains 'workable', at least :o)

Garden-first! I'm with you! :o)

Best Regards both,
Tim :o)x
