They are then left for a week or so in the hot sun to dry. Only then are they actually lifted. The smell is truly eye-watering during that week of drying I can tell you!

I shall NOT believe you are anything less than a master gardner! ;0]<br /><br />I always kinda feel like that entertainer on Ed Sullivan...you know, the ones with the plates and dowels...they called them Plate Spinners. I am forever just catching some project or plan from wobbling out of control and constantly running back and forth to do so. <br /><br />But, what else would I be doing if not that??<br />Cheers,<br />PamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210768437726876770noreply@blogger.com
