Love the snaps of the pets, looks so cosy.

One a bed has been prepared we try not to dig again just keep adding compost and let the worms do the rest. We do hoe beds and rake them by try not to disturb then too much.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-88526477585666250482015-10-10T17:16:39.887-07:002015-10-10T17:16:39.887-07:00We aim to have fresh veg all year round Jo.

If we put anything up now it is holly from the hedges and some ivy and that's only on our candle candelabra.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-77621418348369226382015-10-10T08:50:56.698-07:002015-10-10T08:50:56.698-07:00Do you dig the seaweed in or do the worms take it ...Do you dig the seaweed in or do the worms take it down for you? northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-33912022281209625082015-10-10T08:24:46.910-07:002015-10-10T08:24:46.910-07:00It looks like you're still getting plenty of f...It looks like you're still getting plenty of fresh veggies, the season might have started off slow but at least it's been prolonged.
