I get some good jobs, don't I just?
A farmer friend asked me to hand weed a newly planted (this winter) natural hedge. It was mainly hawthorn and blackthorn.
I spent a day clearing and weeding and day dreaming on my own. It's good to weed without using weedkillers and I got a few aches and pains and beer tokens for my manual labour.

Your poor back, that would kill me, but beer vouchers is a good incentive,
ReplyDeleteYes Marlene. I ached after that shift. I do like working on my own though.

ReplyDeleteYep. Us polymath blog writers can always think of something to write about YP.
ReplyDeleteClearing weeds from a hedg or under a low tree is hard work, You obviously get into the rhythm with your trusty azada and work goes faster like that and you can day dream on quite happily. Not too hot yet for that sort of work obviously.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lovely breeze Linda. The Azada is one of my best ever gardening purchases.
ReplyDeleteThere is something rather satisfying about clearing weeds.
ReplyDeleteHi Jules. Thanks for commenting. Yes it is satisfying clearing weeds. You can see something at the end of your work. No nasty weedkillers either.
ReplyDeleteCurious about the beer tokens...does Mrs Nothsider toss them around the garden to keep you digging??
ReplyDelete"The Labourer is worthy of his wages" Debby. So sayeth the good book.
ReplyDeleteThe book sayeth the truth.
ReplyDeleteYay. If you readGenesis 3: 18 - 24. It's about the weeds and cultivation Debby.
DeleteThat book uses parables about farming and working the earth, stony ground, fertile ground, etc. over and over.
DeleteYes Debby it does. God is obviously a keen gardener and wishes us to be the same.
