Thank goodness I had arranged a day’s help in the garden from Kevin, an amiable Scouser, who I can call on when heavy work needs doing. Last week’s log delivery was still sitting on the path, admittedly looking remarkably like an Andy Goldsworthy sculpture, but nonetheless, in urgent need of transport to the log store. He had nearly finished and was looking forward to a little light horticulture, when a delivery of a tonne bag of organic multipurpose compost arrived on a lorry without a crane. The only place it could go was on the driveway in front of the car – which was needed first thing the next morning. So I gathered up every bag I could find and Kevin shovelled and between the two of us we managed to empty the bulk bag sufficiently to heave it out of the way and liberate the car. Remarkably, Kevin was back the next day to move all the potting compost to its final destination. What a trouper!

This is a great gardening post. My wife is crazy about gardening as well. We would be saving a lot of money if she would just stop buying seeds lol.
