Lots of the bushes we have are prickly! Getting rid of prickles can be a problem. I’ve just spent twenty minutes pulling brambles from a prickly bush and it wasn’t pain free! I have nearly filled the drag bag which was full of topsoil. I did smell a bonfire last night and so it’s not really a ban people are listening to.

I went round the garden spotting more buds unfurling and seeing lots of potential for pretty things. We have potatoes and radish and cucumber and courgettes as well as broad beans, onions and french beans. Proud we have stuck with it. Just not sure we have space in the beds for it all. Think more lawn needs to go to the compost?
