I spent a very pleasurable day down at the vegetable garden supervising the proceedings. I noted that the tall ones have put up some defences against the wild boar that caused damage recently. This being the case they have toiled under the sun today planting tomatoes, beans peppers - red and chilli - onions and leeks. Peas were also weeded and given some sticks for support.
Apparently now is the correct time to be planting since the moon has moved into the waning phase and so the roots of anything planted will be drawn down into the soil.
Whilst working we had a visit from Dave, our current guests, and we could see he was casting an envious eye on the strawberries, so William presented Dave, Margaret, Gavin and Angela with a selection of the fruit later in the afternoon. Margaret assures us they go down very well with sparkling white wine.
More planting tomorrow.
Yours, from between the rows,
Fergus.
