The gardener used to put all the Chicken feathers, old sacks, and probably his old shoes into it. Like yours it always produced good crops.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-16435360154062485462019-01-31T04:37:05.145+00:002019-01-31T04:37:05.145+00:00I planted an Apricot tree two years ago, but it di...I planted an Apricot tree two years ago, but it died almost at once.

It's the one plant I still have plenty of. Also, I leave them in situ once all the main leaves have been harvested, as they send out small 'sproutings' in the Spring, which are equally delicious. I adore Artichokes; usually I roast them with joints of meat or a chicken.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
