All In A Day's Work

Hi Netty--Thanks for your very nice comment. I will be happy to post the simple recipe for making the mashed potatos, turnip greens and small bacon fat cubes--should I do it on this thread, or in a PM?

Emma Jane-- I have a little bit of bother with the flea beetles, but not much...you can see a few holes in the leaves, but not too many There is a weed that is abundant here and they seem to flock to that and so, not too much to my greens. I always leave a few around to keep the flea beetle's attention diverted.
Gooseberry in standard form is a good idea--I believe that I saw that on Gardners' World a while ago too. It's a handy way to make good use of your space.
Greeat that your lottie is looking ship shape....but is it also Bristol fashion? Wink

As for peas...I noticed that my peas already have a few pods (I germinated them at home on the window sill--cheating, I know.) Those peas are barely a foot high and already in flower and fruit. I am surprised.

Kuntrygal--I'm delighted that you like my pics and stories. It's heartwarming to hear.
I am also glad you liked the stroll and our little town. I enjoy walking it's narrow streets and thinking back through history.
