Clay

Claggy when too wet
sets to concrete in the dry
blooming Bristol clay.

by Scooj
Digging my allotment is a trial. The soil is clay based and no matter how much organic matter I chuck in, the clay seems to rise to the surface. When it is wet it is impossible to dig, everything sticks to everything. When it is dry, it becomes so hard that pushing a spade into it causes a jarring sensation and breaking the lumps is serious hard labour. Perhaps I should move.

Rhododendron bush
although leggy and ancient
puts on a great show

I inherited this rhododendron from the previous owner some 28 years ago and it looked tired and leggy even then. It is in the wrong soil and really shouldn’t even be alive, but every year the flowers just seem to get better. This year is the best show ever.

Inexplicably, my blog stats have dropped off a cliff-edge. I am hoping that folk have decided to detach themselves from their digital gadgets and gone outside to connect with their environment. If so, my work here is done.
