My little back-yard garden is coming along nicely, considering that I really don’t give it the attention it should have. I do water it most days but haven’t been overly active on the feeding side of things. I should really because my tomatoes and cucumbers are abundant with fruit just waiting to ripen. Whilst they were still very small, I thought they were not going to survive so I planted a second crop as back …

When I came to write this post, I found the previous one still saved as a draft which is why we have two posts in the same day! We had a scare on Sunday night.

I’ve finished the body, all …

I’m trying not to buy anymore until I’ve worked through some of this but sometimes a bargain is a bargain …
