Soggy stems

This weekend was H's birthday. H sister and hubby were to come over for dinner much later in the day so I had most of the day more less to myself. Miss L was home too so H and Miss L went off to do girly things. I went to the lottie. I filled the feeders and had a look round. I started by weeding the Asparagus bed. It had patches of grass over about half of the bed. It did not take long to pick the little tussocks out. A light raking over and bed was spick and span. Then I started the little flower bed next door. I was nearly finished when H and Miss L turned up. I and Miss L each had a little brown bag with them. A present for me. A cheese and onion pastie and a egg custard from Greggs, bliss but I am easily pleased. Miss L was feeling the cold so they went off again and left me to my pastie. I got the deck chair out of the landy and put my feet up to eat my repast and watch the birds on the feeders.

Time was getting on. I got the barrow out and walked round the vines with the secateurs. A snip here a snip there. Ten minutes later a vines were trimmed. I looked over the cabbage patch. The long winter and all the snow has put paid to all but the Savoy cabbages. I went round pulling out the soggy stems of the dead plants. They went in the compost bin. The soil was a bit wet for digging but pulling out all the stem disturbed the soil and it looked in good condition.

I am having a think about moving the black compost bins but where are they to go?
