It's more important this year because Piglet doesn't deal very well with wet leaves. I've reduced the time she's operating because of the european working time directive and our own laws regarding minimum pay. She now fires up at 8am and goes to bed at 4pm. In truth, as the daylight hours reduce and temperatures drop so the growth slows and she doesn't need to be so active. Another month and I might take her in so she can hibernate.

I last picked them last Wednesday so there was a load. Thankfully there are people who are only too happy to accept a few runners.

Guess what's for dinner tonight?
