October 2008 - new fork

This is me posing with my brand new beautiful gardening fork which my lovely colleagues got for me as a leaving gift. The bow and ribbons are still on it! Overwhelmed and happy.

Note the tall purple sprouting broccoli and brussels sprouts to the left in bed 1, also the newly planted broad beans to the front in bed 2. I also now have a lovely pallet gate and a fence around the whole plot which is keeping all the pesky rabbits out. I still have birds, moles and even a nest mice in the compost heap, but none of these 'pests' seem to be a particular problem and I quite like having them (especially the mice!).
