The Gardener

A late afternoon potter among the potatoes.

Three good things!
1. I finished another good book called Academy Street by Mary Costello. Some reviewers said it was boring but I loved it's gentle rytham & it's beautifully written.
2. An interesting B&B guy in who is a cameraman for Sky Sports. He's covering the Matchplay Darts in the Winter Gardens.
3. Ginger has appeared again after being absent for a week. She had been out all night last week & Amanda found her staggering as if she was drunk the next morning so she has been grounded in her coop ever since! It was lovely to see her visiting again.
Wow impressive potatoes etc!!
Glad you are not finding life boring!! and hope Ginger none the worse of her escapades!

An immaculate garden! Ginger sounds a bit of a mischief maker.

Now that looks like a magnificent crop, Pat!

Luxuriant greenery! I hope the potatoes underground are equally impressive. Ginger had obviously been out on the tiles! Hope she's recovering.

I hope what is underneath is as good as the tops... looks like a productive little garden... Oh poor Ginger sounds like she needs some TLC

Nothing like a good potter among the potatoes! A bountiful crop! Maybe Ginger met a rampant rooster who gave her an experience she won't forget?

@maggiemae Ooh you are naughty Maggie! Out on the tiles with a boyfriend, good for Ginger!

@julzmaioro I think @magiemae has a better reason Julz! Yes very big crop under all that green thank goodness!

@jmj Yes seems a massive crop Jennifer & yes naughty Ginger! It's taken her a long time to recover!

@ruthmouch yes Ruth Harry is really pleased, his best crop ever!

@sarah19 thanks Sallie, Ginger is thinner but unbowed!

@gijsje We were so relieved to see her back to her usual routine Bep.

@dide Yes she had been up to no good Dianne!

Good to see Harry working in the garden. We have just taken two trailer loads of garden rubbish to the recycle tip. Mainly tree pruning and the avocado tree which we had to take out because it was causing problems. Will plant another avocado tree in a different spot soon.
Ginger is quite a gad about isn't she.

What an impressive looking crop Pat and in semi shade too. Beautiful lush greens.

Oh Ginger what had you been up to! Glad she's safe Pat. Those potatoes look so healthy. I bet you get a huge crop. Nothing tastes as good as home grown potatoes!

Shows there has been plenty of rain and warmth! Very lush!
