The Pot Bellied Cook and the Three Legged Dog
In an old wooden tavern, quite close to a bog
Lives a pot bellied cook and a three legged dog
He spends all his days making green smelly cheese
While the three legged dog sits and scratches his fleas
High up in a tower, lives the Old Purple Gint
Who drinks nothing but smoothies of onion and mint
She grows all her food in a pair of old boots
And makes soap from the juice of the dandelion root
But cook wasn’t happy to live all alone
He wanted to share the green cheese in his home
So he closed up the tavern and set foot outside
With his three legged dog he looked for a bride
To the Old Purple Gint in the tower he strolled
With some cheese in a sock, feeling ever so bold
He called from the ground to the window above
And proclaimed from his knees his intentions of love.
“My darling, my sugar, my sweetheart, my dear
I have lived all alone for so many a year
I have come to ask you, would you marry me please
And stand by my side with my dog and his fleas”
The Gint just stood silent, as stiff as a rock
Then she gazed at the cook and his green smelly sock
“I will be your wife” , was her short sharp reply
“If you bring me the shoes from the Snufflebug fly”

This is how the existing garden, well part of it, looks right now.
Tasks for this weekend are to get some seed trays, tools, and price up polythene for the greenhouse.
We're going to take out the glass, it's unsafe and isn't stable at all, and replace it with polythene sheeting. The plan is to cut out 'panes' of polythene and staple them into place. Back up plan is to cover the whole walls and roof with polythene and tack it into place. I hope the panes idea works, just from an aesthetic point of view.
I'm going to start some garlic off too, just in some seed trays with clingfilm.
