We do our to-do's
This Sunday we had some assistance from Ian, a friend of Sally's, so they hacked up the old tomato plants (hello snails!) and I turned the compost (hello worms!).
I think a few more helping hands will be useful while we undertake some preparation work over the winter and I get a grip of all this gardening lark.
Me, laughing at compost
Ian, in awe of the green tomatoes
With the greenhouse now clear, next job is to clean it up and treat it kindly.
What I learnt
All this grow-your-own isn't about an immediate return.
How I learnt it
All I came away with was some worms, green tomatoes and an insight to what rotting chilli's look like, not exactly a Sunday lunch.
