Feeling virtuous, and not a little tired!

A small bed for potatoes, trenched witha layer of manure, deep down, and
another bed waiting for further vegetables, and tomatoes, and so on.
The soil is so rich and deep here that I'm not even sure I need all this
manure that my neighbour kindly gave me. But I'll be able to use it!

I'll plant the spuds on Good Friday!

Why?
Because it's traditional, at least in the UK.
I never really understood this, as the date of Easter varies so much. I
figured people did it because it was a public holiday, and so they weren't at
work.
But here's another idea.
Easter is set according to the moon, and at least here in France many
people plan their gardening around the lunar calendar! So maybe that's the reason!

I'll extend it later, I think, skirting the wisteria, which no longer has a
building to grow up, but which I've never managed to remove.

Glowing with virtue, as I've trenched this little plot, and given each
trench a layer of manure.

Of course, I'll plant the spuds on Good Friday!
