Giving me the sack

(Don’t worry - no P45s involved)

I wrote a little while ago about wanting to order some leaf sacks from Wiggly Wigglers and mentioned that I wasn’t going to order them until the raised beds were completed. Ahem. They’re not done yet, almost there but not quite. I ordered the sacks anyway. Well, it is autumn, the leaves are starting to drop and I didn’t want to be left behind in the leaf mould stakes yet again. Still, I should have stuck to my original plan, because yesterday the postman delivered two boxes from WW.

One box contained the sacks I had ordered (not-quite-punningly called “Love ‘em and leave ‘em” - they would have been better called “Love ‘em and leaf ‘em”). The other? An identical box of sacks that Owen’s parents had ordered to surprise us with! I thought perhaps that we could use all of them and end up with a bumper ‘crop’ of leaf mould, but the sacks are enormous and there is no way that we would be able to fill so many. So, I shall return those that we ordered and say a massive thank you to Gareth and Gail for their kind gift and card wishing us “Happy Potaging”.

Note to self: I must stop making my plans public unless I really intend to stick to them!
