'Ello again me lovelies Farmer Jon 'ere, now bet that suprised you? two updates in two days..
Well, I wanted to put up a few photos, but i cant get the blasted thing to work!!
I dont quite understand all this new fangled technology. I still yearn for the days of quills and parchment of me youth!
Now, it must be Spring as me postbag is full to buristin' with questions about brassicas, legumes and wotnot so I'll just delve on in there and pull one out..
It's from Mr Moriwaki of Tonoga and he writes 'Dear Farmer Jon, I've got all me onions, carrots, and pototatoes in the ground but doesnt look like youve got anything sown. Why?'
Well, Ha Ha Ha! He's a real joker is Moriwaki, and all i can say is that whilst it's true that I'm a bit behind schedule, he had better watch out that no-one doesn't creep down at night and spray all his bloomin' veggies with pesticide!!
but seriously, he has got a point, and the heart of the matter is...time! Where does it all go? What does it all mean? How does it all work?
These are the big questions I often find meself contemplatin' while I sit on the engawa hoping for the answers to come.....nothing through yet, though, I'm afraid.
I still have a whole heap of logs to get chopped up and stacked ready for drying , as well as cutting down all the weeds in the fields, let alone sowing me seeds, planting me plants, and err digging me digs?!?
So what am i doing here on a beautiful day like today? No reason, better go...
