How are the veggies coming along?

Don't know. Chickens appeal. I thought I might sow a placeholder crop of stuff they could eat in that big bed. Recommendations appreciated.

I'm not doing very well on dinner tonight either. Just poured my sixth campari and still need a bath too.

I take it you realized it was that other P word I meant, not meaning to cast aspersions.

 

Don't know much about chickens I'm afraid. Aside from feeding them I'd just go round the nurseries/garden centers and see what they've got left still. Hopefully some tomatoes, cucumbers, chilies, maybe some winter cabbages.

Procrastinate?

 

I was hoping for a scatter and stamp in kind of thing. Clover, flax, wheat etc.

Campari? You old lush!

 

Alfalfa and Rye Grass are a couple more green manures, or cover crops.

 

Get yourself a couple packets of something like this and chuck it around.

We have created what we think is the ultimate cover crop seed blend; ideal for purchasing alongside our pre mixed soils...

Yeah. That sort of thing but sold in a rougher bag for a gentler price. I'm more a tractor dealership than garden centre kind of shopper.

I rewatched the 1973 Day of the Jackal yesterday. He and the gunsmith stylishly sip it while tailoring the rifle. I'm a sucker for that kind of advertising.

Sublime.

I have, in the past, when faced with a shortage of the necessary ingredients to prepare a campari spritz, made an entirely drinkable alternative out of Irn Bru and gin.

I drank raspberry vincotto and gin once when running the cupboards down. Wasn't great.
