Took off all the rubbish that I cut down yesterday. The thinking by some people is to leave it standing over Winter, unfortunately I’m not gifted with the imagination to see a lot of dead stalks as anything but a mess so they had to go.

NOTES
1) During the winter I am working reduced hours. The reason’s being is that from March I work one hour extra everyday from 8:00 to 5:30. My contracted hours being 8:30 to 5:00, so for the next 5 months I get to work from 8:30 until 4:00. I find this makes better use of my time as there is never enough time in the summer and in Winter it’s hard to work properly after 4:00 because of the dark so you just end up passing time trying to keep warm.



COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING SHED
Kimmie The only reason I hung up the Parsnip was to take a picture of it.
