Absolute Write is running another poetry competition which I have entered. The theme is space. Any kind of space. For instance space between my ears, between people in the same room or lack of space. Basically a vary wide subject matter as it can cover so many different things. I don't really thing I made the most of the subject but once the competitions is over I will post it in my blog here, That will be in September and you will then judge for yourselves.
Finally July is over and another month has come. Though it isn't the worst July I remember, that would be '88, it has been wet. The garden has suffered for it. Only yesterday Magz and me had to tie up the cooking apple tree again. The weight from rain and fruit was too much for it In the winter I will have to be very hard on it when I come to prune it. It is the only way to try and stop it from being so top heavy. I also need t rethink the strawberries patch. This year they haven't produced any real fruit. Part of that will be the bad weather but some of it is due to the shading that the fruit trees are now providing to that section of the garden. I will use the grow bag I was trying to grow corn in for them next year. Of course I will need to move them before they begin sending out runners so that will mean the next week. That is if the weather allows me the time.
