We didn't mind being back at college yesterday as the weather was so disgusting again, it was also a relief to be studying fruit and vegetables a subject everyone knows at least a little about, in fact it was astonishing just how much knowledge we could come up with between us, making for a lively lesson with contributions from everyone on different varieties and planting techniques. Lunchtime saw most of us visiting the bookshop with a particular run on buying copies of the Carol Klein RHS endorsed Grow Your Own Vegetables book which gives simple clear advice for novices like me, that's my bed-time reading sorted out for the next few nights, what an exciting existence Dave and I have between us, he works all the time and I live and breathe gardening, nice comfortable middle age!
"Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May, but at length the season of summer does come" Thomas Carlyle
