Gardening Time-Almost

Feb 4, 2007
Post a comment

I started today with the best of intentions. My small but much neglected piece of urban garden really need a good tidying and some serious

weeding. I didn't plan for the thick fog which lingers even now into the evening, and the freezing weather which rapidly sent my fingers numb with cold. After pottering around for a half hour or so I finally turned my attention to one of my three spikey Agave plants, one of which was being crowded out by weeds.

This completely put an end to my gardening for the day, as I tried to free the spiked leaves from its weedy companions my frozen hands received some many pricks and stabs that I rapidly got the feeling back into them.

I quickly retreated indoors and planted up some olive seeds instead.

Time to buy some gardening gloves I think.
