Intruders in my garden ! - Zurdo - 18-05-2024
My summer garden did well this year - too many tomatoes, and then that rain came and they all went rotten. The grapes gave a good first crop...the raspberry got carried away, but hardly any fruit at all. They are a couple of metres apart, but there was a real battle going on over control of the fence/trelllis. I have a crop of pumpkins I never ate - do these things mutate in my compost ?
Digging up a few weeks ago to put in some winter leafies, I found long thin roots meandering through my garden. The grape, raspberry and blueberry are a couple of metres away, but I think they went looking, and found some good dirt in my vege garden.

There were intruders in ours yesterday, turned out to be a couple of real estate agents under the impression our village was public property. Might have been once upon a time, but the council gave it away to a ppp a decade back so these two got short shrift. They were looking for access to our beautiful reserve, obviously to use as a selling point for the appalling bunch of units ticky tacked together in a pile on the section across the road, they have no garden space at all. No parking either, the little street is going to be packed.
Progress...

Absolute vutures, those people. . Many years ago, a local one 'just popped in when going past' my Mum's house & offered her a sum for selling it which was considerably less than it was worth.
Of course, he had no clue that she had a very good idea of the value. But he did find out fairly quickly...
Several years back I asked youngest grandson what he wanted to be when he left school, & he said he wouldn't have minded being a real estate agent until he found out what arseholes they were....I knew then that he's got a social conscience.
