Very nearly had enough digging joy now thank you

This morning I fashioned some labels out of an old milk carton and have now labelled (and mulched) the onions.

I pruned and tidied up around the apple trees at the front and applied a grease band in an attempt to have bug-free apples next year. In the process I managed to get grease all over my fleece and in my hair. So I definitely need to shower before bedtime!

Then I went back to digging over the spring planting bed to get rid of the weeds. I’ve done the second third now and the roots are gradually getting more and deeper as I work my way across. Several time I’ve thought that after 3 weeks with a couple of hours of digging each weekend, I’m very nearly at the point where I’m losing the joy of it.

The rest of the strawberry lifting in the other bed might be done at a slower pace…

I had every intention of going out again this afternoon, but quite honestly, my energy has left me. The plan is to do some indoor work, preferably not involving forks or lifting anything. I may go for a light stroll later on…
