Re: Spring in the garden - what & when will you sow?
I have given up on all veg even spuds my ground its a clay sand mix holds no moisture and if say spuds the ground just hardens up producing miss shape even root veg just can not grow the way the intended to grow the very high temputre sends beans into thermal budding forming early flowering then no produce, so a stack of seed spare from last year, so Fill up all ground with Hellianthus at least I will have colours to enjoy with a strong pot of PG Tips digger

Sorry to hear that, digger. I'm not trying to grow anything but I'm trying to dig trenches to lay a new waste pipe from the kitchen to the main sewer pipe. Almost as quickly as I dig them the rain washes the piles of soil back in!

Today I struck concrete, too big a lump to dig out so the pipe will go round it. If it was Time Team digging the trench they would only have unearthed a couple of bits of broken pottery!

Thankfully, despite learning them by rote as a child, I can't remember half of them so can blissfully claim ignorance if I have broken any.....
HOLD ON - wasn't one of them not to kill... goes off to google...
DIGGER is there something you want to tell us
