    Makes me glad to work out in the sticks, they must have fun getting white goods in to some of those places.

    My day wasnt too bad either, 800m of beech hedge to cut and a load of prepartion as the gardens being opened for charity at the week end. Thankfully it was wet so the whitefly werent too bad, the one thing I hate about cutting beech is whitefly, bloody things make me itch like crazy.

    I take it you dropped it quick!

    I can remember a few terrible jobs from when I first started, none were funny at the time but they make me smile now.

    Cut two of the lawns; weeded (finger tip stuff) most of the rows of veg. Hoed beween rows. Replaced 3 leeks plants that hadn't taken. Fed the toms and cucs. Chopped up some comfrey and added it to the stuff that I've got soaking to make fertiliser. Picked a cuc, some lettuce, broad beans and strawberries.
