Effortless gardening
Posted: Friday 17 February, 2006
This week I've achieved so much - sown loads of salad, herb and tomato seeds, lifted piles of parsnips and leeks, moved compost bins, planted out strawberries, weeded beds, bought straw for our incoming pigs, and plenty more I don't even know about. And worked a 40 hour week. And never had my wellies on once.
The secret? Write a list on a Sunday night, give it to your wife (who now happens to take school holidays due to childcare arrangements) and by the following Friday, with a bit of luck, it's all done! Who said this gardening lark was hard work?

Believe me, you have no idea how I will get him back. I was lifting parnips in horizontal rain! It was good in the greenhouse though. It got a bit crowded with me, two dogs and two cats in it.
