Bertha leaving.....

Bertha leaving on the truck yesterday.....

Dad - she has gone back to have something attached to her underneath - it was supposed to be attached before we got her, but they forgot, so we knew we were getting a belly mower in the Spring so we told them to leave it until then, so they said they'd come get her for free and and do it all now - so we are getting the belly mower and a tiller and they are doing the belly attachment bit......then bringing her back for us :) So no, she isn't sick thankfully! We're getting a rough cut mower and a belly mower - the rough cut mower is for all the prickly stuff like bushes etc so we can cut all the back fields etc that have thorny stuff and not just grass growing in them....the belly mower will be for the lawns.

Coyote...

A not great picture of a coyote that Chris snapped with my camera from the car window on our way home today....it was so close to us but by the time we got the camera ready and the right lens on and Chris had fiddled about with it, the coyote was running off across the field! This was in the field opposite our house...the one with the cows and llamas...

Growing potatoes in buckets

One bucket,larger the better, as you can grow more potatoes,put soil in about 8" deep, put in potatoes about 5" apart,put more soil on top and put more potatoes about 5" apart,and carry on until soil about 2"from top.You could mix fertiliser with the soil,or maybe some of Charlies manure.Keep soil damp,but not soaked,as potatoes like water,maybe drill some holes in base of bucket so to drain off excess water.Let me know how you get on.With all the soil you have you could use a dust bin.Hope you get on OK .I am now going to read the blogs,bye.

Which just goes to show I remembered it wrong! In fact completely wrong!!!! How??????

Thanks Dad!
