The energy banks are rather depleted now! John and Arnold were both really well, it was a wonderful little interlude and helped my back to relax - ready for the next shift. I keep having to use hot packs through the night now, hopefully it will hold up until we have finished.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-44854627264762596822012-03-22T18:17:34.127+00:002012-03-22T18:17:34.127+00:00Hi Meggie, Since taking the photograph of Sparky ...Hi Meggie, Since taking the photograph of Sparky I must confess to wondering how on earth she managed to get up onto that pole! <br />The polytunnel arrives tomorrow, so we have an even busier few days ahead of us. The tunnel is 7' tall in the centre, 30'long x 10'wide - I have no doubt that those lovely heritage tomatoes will love the improved weather in there - it should be much more what they are used to.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-51447909986078173812012-03-22T18:13:06.912+00:002012-03-22T18:13:06.912+00:00Hi Joanne, We are beginning to flag a little now,...Hi Joanne, We are beginning to flag a little now, but we must dig deep (no pun intended) and see it through.

Every stone or brick I dug up, I put in a pile to be used later in the gardens. I know what a poly tunnel is, but I'm wondering, will the garden stay covered all season with the tunnel. Also is the tunnel large enough to walk in like a big greenhouse?<br />Sparky is certainly doing a balancing act!<br />And, what a nice break you had on your walk. I'd like to believe these are the same swans.Meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512116319930586068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-30750746666281883072012-03-21T22:28:15.538+00:002012-03-21T22:28:15.538+00:00The amount of work output is boggling.

I read today that are local farmers have started up farm markets early because of the mild winter giving them so much produce from their high-tunnels. I assume they are a version of the poly tunnels you reference. I think you need to give Sparky a shovel.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-57703569010447209972012-03-21T21:36:53.439+00:002012-03-21T21:36:53.439+00:00Lovely photos and a lot of hard work.
