Just finished a little gardening job.We have built a little raised bed,six foot x five foot and only four inches deep.Over the past few months I have been opening up the area with spade and fork.It has a good fork length depth. Today the frame went over it and three bags of compost and two bags of manure have gone in,we will put some of our very own compost over the top in a couple of weeks.It has filled an empty dry space it looks great.The rhubarb is in pots at the bottom of the garden just waiting for it's new home.

You'll be forcing rhubarb next. I love doing it (although I don't have any at the moment, having given up my allotment) as it is incredibly sweet.
Mmmm rhubarb with a splash of Pernod and a crumble with white chocolate pieces.

We never had sugar!
Shoes? We never had shoes. Walked to work in the snow with no shoes.
