I’ve been taking some photographs for Julia this morning, showing the progress she’s been making in the garden (helped by her merry band of volunteers and the garden group).
They have revamped the compost bins, cleared a large area of scrub, put in some raised beds, discovered a variety of plants, loaded up the leafmould cage and found some garden equipment (including plastic compost bins and an incinerator).
I also sorted out the lighting procedure for the gas heater in the site hut and checked the way to remove the spool on the new battery powered strimmer the group has been given. I am a man of many (uncommercial) talents.
Revamped Compost Bins
After that I was despatched on a job for Julia. I am often sent on jobs for Julia, as regular readers will know. I did the job then I picked her up and I spent the next five and a half hours doing another job for her.

As I say, a married man’s time is not his own.
And you mooted rewriting your marriage vows to include ‘obey’ a few posts back. Time to reconsider?
I meant her vows, she’s always just assumed I’ll do what I’m told. 🙂
It is always a blessing to have handy spouse!
I have just been given a job making more nestboxes!

As we would say in Maine, my husband is handy, too. Finest kind of husband.
I’ll communicate your opinion to Julia, who seems to have her doubts on the subject. She thinks I should be silent in addition to doing what I’m told.
I do understand. 😉 I have a husband who while handy can also argue the hind leg off a mule.
Sounds like a good man. 🙂
So pleased Julia keeps you busy. And provides you with good photographic material. Will you keep the bamboo?
Yes, they have several clumps around the place and are using them to grow their own garden canes.

I love that picture of moss…
Thank you, I was pleased with the way they turned out.
You are a man of many and varied talents, to be sure. And you do make me laugh! 😀
Thank you. I try my best. 🙂

Great compost shot. There are not enough shots of compost bins on the internet.
You are correct, though I fear we have a long way to go in terms of compost quality. However, the longest journey starts with a single step…
Together we could form a movement.
I have often been likened to a movement.

Never a truer word spoken 😀😀
Yep! 🙂
