Just a very few of the gooseberries from just one of the bushes. It's a pity I've forgotten which one's which.

# 1390# 1389A very sad sight indeed. My local farmer has decided to return his land to intensive arable use after almost 10 years of it being left fallow (Seeing as how his hopes for selling it off for housing have gone for the foreseeable future). Criminal, really. The foxes, rabbits and pheasants seen running for their lives thought likewise.

None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

Principle Tasks: Moving the two gooseberry bushes I was given last year by my allotment neighbour who works at a local fruit nursery ('Hedgehog' and 'Guys Seedling') and planting out the additional 'Invicta' variety that I brought on the 4th of January from the now-closed garden centre. Planting out the Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) and the Salad Burnet (Sanguisorba minor) that I brought the other day, into the perimeter L-bed. Plus, into the same bed, a small clump of snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) that I was also given.
