No sweat for me cashy. That’s what grandsons are for. I have to admit though that I did put my hand on the spade – er to move it out of the way.

My only problem is going to be if the Taleban find out about my crop. Will they nip round demanding protection money? But the opium poppy is the nicest of all the varieties that are around. I believe that there is a blue Californian Poppy and a white one.

By the way – I have never seen a GREEN flower.

I sit back and wait with a patience acquired over many years of living Brian.

I am not averse to organic gardening steeljack but the grasses had many years of undisturbed growth and a root system that was as strong as steel. Digging did not kill it off so I had to resort to drastic measures. The only bird that visited me was a pigeon or two and the only animal life was that ginger tom cat from next door and a marauding squirrel who has been named ‘Stumpy’ because his/her right front paw is absent. It still gets around OK though.

If my plan comes to fruition next year whatever grass does manage to grow will be allowed to - unless it interferes with the growth of the other plants.
