This is the first entry. Last night we had a lot of rain,which pleases me.My veggie plot was looking very dry.So the rain will have done some good.If the weather stays as it is, then i think that there will be more digging and weeding to be done. It is now quite sunny and as I live in the country, surrounded by hills covered by trees. The colours of the leaves, make for a fantastic mix of reds, yellows, browns and green.I think this has to be the most colour full time of the year.

I have spent the last two weeks clearing the land, getting it ready for next year. I must have dug over by hand about 200sq mtrs, good exercise but a bit tiring at times.A rotavater might be easier but i prefer to use a spade, it is better for fitness,gets the heart pumping.
