Hard Taskmistress....

...or Awkward B****.

The day started OK with a trip over the hill to collect a trailer load of manure. We then planted out a new batch of Asparagus. Some of our previous asparagus had failed, but we'd realised that we didn't have enough!

That was the easy part. After lunch we began planting out the potatoes. I hadn't realised how pernicketty, fussy and just plain awkward Sue could be about something which, at the end of the day, will grow how it wants to, and not to the centimetre where she wants it to grow! After some heated discussion on the best way to mark out the trenches and ridges for the potatoes, we managed to plant up 3 beds, leaving 3 more to plant tomorrow morning.

After our torrid and exhausting afternoon, we took the opportunity to enjoy the sun with an evening drink.
