2023 - What I did today

I have been spending lots of money! 

I have put in an order for another big delivery of compost and manure. It should arrive on Wednesday and let me turn the other side of my garden into beds, as well as spread a thin layer over my existing beds. It's good that I'm getting the compost delivered earlier this year than I did last years so that I can have the beds ready for sowing. Between this year and last year, I have now spent more money on compost than I have on any other physical thing ever, with the exception my house. I'm a Yorkshirewoman, so not good at spending and I've had to sit down for the rest of the afternoon to get over the shock!

Unfortunately, all this sitting down has given me the opportunity to think about spending the Plants of Distinction voucher my mother gave me for my birthday last year. Of course, there were far too many lovely-looking things on their website and I have gone almost £7 over the value of the voucher, despite reducing my basket contents dramatically before check-out. And I still have a Premier Seeds Direct voucher to spend, so the damage could get even worse!
