    I've got some stuff growing in our small platic greenhouses at home to put in. Beetroot, courgettes/zuchini, cabbages, lettuces, carrots and parsnips.

    A bit of digging is required again this year. I hope the old back holds out.

    Yes, I've got my first and second earlies in already in the other plot with the shed from last year. My maincrop is chitting at the moment, but should be ready by the weekend. It was an Irish guy who had my other plot last. He left a home made spade with a really long handle to reach into the potato rows. Superb.

    It would be unreasonable not to raise a Guinness or two in his honour!

    I suspect that all the names are wishful thinking. There has probably been more hanky panky going on in Paul's sheds than in Ms Emin's tent.

    This year, Paul is going to have them grow with the sour cream and chives already one them.

    Really, that woman put a blood soaked bed in the Tate and wondered why Americans aren't dying to see her "art"; in America we just think that's skank...otherwise we'd have Bill Clintons girls dress in the Museum of Art haha

    Yeah, but I hear that the tent has been taken over by the gay mens league...

    What a life.

    If I become a Buddhist, can I get reincarnated as a prize thoroughbred stallion or bull? (Not too sure about bulls, though - they do a lot of AI, which is banned in thoroughbreds.)

    Hang on a minute Atheist, while I relate the sad fate of Once-Gay-But-Turned-Tup.

    I was feeding the flock in all that snow, and he decided to jump the fence to get to the silage rather than use the gate, which was only a few feet away. He managed to get half over but his leg got caught between the barbed wire and the fence and he was left hanging
    there. I found him frozen solid next morning. He never even made it to Pappa's Kebab Shop.

    So if you were to come back as a breeding Ram you'd have lots of sex once a year but the brain of a guinea pig (Apology to all guinea pigs.)

    You don't need to be a Buddhist. It's the law of Karma that applies to everyone. Atheism doesn't give you a "get out of Samsara free" card. If it did, there'd be a lot of Buddhists in the queue for oblivion.

    That's only the Buddhist's view of course.

    It's not so bad close up - lots of bare earth to be seen, and not just turf - which is a bugger to dig.

    I've been busy this week, but come Sunday, I'll be there testing the spade, and having a snifter in the coffee. I'm going to dig a few long thin beds near the hedges to give the lettuces and courgettes/ zuchinis and rhubarb a bit of shade. I'll also be doing a raised bed for the parsnips and carrots. I probably won't get all that done on Sunday. I'll be taking my book down though for a bit of rest and relaxation whilst the coffee does its bit. Ha Ha!

    As for the Gay Men's league - I hope they've got air beds in there.

    So basically you want to come back as an animal so that you can have a large appendage...seems like a rather bad tradeoff to me.

    Hum, I'm still weighing that one...lots of sex is winning out so far...

    So if there is an Ateist in the forest and he lets off gas; God still hears it. But if there is a god in the forest; ATheist remains unaware...interesting...

    I go mad in our yard, 35 foot trees and all of the ground is a series of roots. We buried the cat 13 years ago and she came up on a root this year...it wasn't pretty....
    I saw the fellows naked with a bunch of mops...I didn't ask...
