It is fabulous stuff and no doubt some of the heritage tomato seedlings will be potted-on in some. I'll be photographing their progress, I have great hopes for some wonderfully tasty tomatoes.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-21382558242837157012012-03-04T19:12:52.083+00:002012-03-04T19:12:52.083+00:00Hi Joanne, It is wonderful stuff, dark, stone and...Hi Joanne, It is wonderful stuff, dark, stone and lump-free, it's like graded grains of soil. The moles have been particularly active in Arnold's field, hundreds of mini-mountains of beautiful soil just waiting to be collected.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-27534687117200210882012-03-04T18:13:21.959+00:002012-03-04T18:13:21.959+00:00How convenient!

No more difficult than a trip to the hardware store for a bag of potting soil, although I doubt those bags are full of mole hills.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-23355168221579380382012-03-04T14:04:05.538+00:002012-03-04T14:04:05.538+00:00Hi Knatolee, That's old Arnold.

Toby used to be scared of his sheer bulk, but now they really do interact - great for both of them plus I love to see it.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-72119370400355717832012-03-04T14:00:06.544+00:002012-03-04T14:00:06.544+00:00Good morning Meggie, It is pouring with rain here...Good morning Meggie, It is pouring with rain here so no outdoor work today. Instead I have been baking bread, looking after Harry, and now I am going to tackle this week's ironing while I listen to my favourite radio series. All very domestic, but enjoyable. <br />I hope you have a nice day ahead of you.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-62461760625298254182012-03-04T13:58:02.603+00:002012-03-04T13:58:02.603+00:00Love the horse!!
