Family Hedge Cutting Fest

A Whole New Melony

So Melony may not have survived, but luckily there are a few more where she came from. After Johns suggestion of mini greenhouses using the window panes I dutifuly found a nice space in the second potato patch for Melony 2nd. She isnt the healthiest plant to begin with as her roots were a bit damaged from the first time I tried to replant her, but they looked better yesterday, so im confident with our new innovation she will survive. I finally got round to having a proper weeding session in the swede patch, though it took a while to figure out what was weed and what was swede. Eventually I recognised a sewing pattern, and im now of the thinking that no swedes were harmed in the weeding process.

More Hedge Cutting

Whilst I was faffing about, John got on with yet more hedge cutting. I did pick up the shears but put them near enough straight back down. I decided that the most productive thing I could do was pick up after John. Who'd have thought there'd be more than one way to pick up hedge trimmings. I started out with one glove, one glove and a rake and eventually two odd gloves (having lost one of my pink pair.) Not to be left out the Blur came along and got stuck in too. Unfortunately all she had managed to find in the hut was a pair of mens gloves which had a hole in the thumb, none the less she made a good job of picking up the cuttings and shaking them about a bit so they were more widely spread. George and Mildred (its not her real name) came along in their car and told us to leave the blackberries alone as she had her eye on them. Hmmmm their closer to us, and team cheeky monkey alpha zebra leprechaun baffalo one will give her a run for her money.

The EGM

John was right, we did find out from someone else (Mildred) what the EGM was all about. So here goes. They are clearing out one of the empty plots for a kind of shared area. They would like to put a generator and toilet in there so we can make cups of tea (im liking that idea already.) They also talked about the plot behind ours, which has only been tended once in the last few weeks. He had a big digger in there for a day, and left it at that. Not sure how extrodinary of a meeting it was, but im glad we stayed in lotty and threw apples.
