Offering them up to the gods with a prayer?
I have really enjoyed all the photos
I have been poorly so haven't been leaving comments - but I have been looking.
I am so looking forward to seeing some photos of your wonderful garden it is so interesting and have missed it over the winter.
I keep meaning to ask = what is happening to Phils garden.
Now that he has made an appearance on your allotment with a new hairstyle - I know that he is 'around'.
I keep clicking on to the link and am getting pdb with looking at those rotting apples. They must have fallen off the tree by now and been replaced with fresh leaves and apple blossom.
Any chance of more news?
Right will get on the job after the weekend as I am away. Phil's garden is going rather well due to his 'Rambo' style approach to combating weeds and getting things done!
Hope you are feeling better, All the best, Mike
