\"Maxime<\/p>\n

Well, alright, it was a bit overcast yesterday, but actually that made it much pleasanter to work. Maxime, above, our French volunteer, dug a massive hole for a soakaway for the runoff from the roof. He then filled it with rubble and put soil and grass back over the top. Today I bought a new water butt and downpipe system, so we will say goodbye shortly to the difficult and unwieldy gorilla tub collection system!<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I had found a suspended pot rack at a charity shop, so I spend the morning attaching it to the ceiling and devising a rope hook system that allows me to easily pull it up or down to measured places. A little extra storage goes a long way around here.<\/p>\n

\"blueberries<\/p>\n

The blueberries are starting to look good. I’ve mulched and watered them quite liberally and they are looking really healthy. There may be a pie in the offing this year.<\/p>\n

\"tadpoles\"<\/p>\n

Our pool of tadpoles are turning into frogs. There are at least a couple of hudred of them, though fewer every day. (Apparently they eat each other. Grim.)<\/p>\n

\"rose<\/p>\n

And above the tadpole tank, the very gratifying and successful Rose Albertine that Michelle gave me, which she promises me will cover the whole wall, and I believe her from the progress it’s made in a year. Thanks, Michelle!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
