So today I emptied out my tool belt. It’s my last week here at Growing Communities and one step in my final preparations for departure, is to sort out all this weight I have been carrying on my hip. Then I can hand this terribly useful belt over to Paul, who’ll be taking over.
Yes, it’s amazing just how much can fit in a small bag.
And more amazing, is just how long I have been carrying around all these VERY useful things. Sure, the seceteurs are a necessity, always at the ready, the tool of choice for any salad grower, but the not-one, not-two but SIX jubilee clips? What have they been doing in there all this time?
Add my phone to all of this, never mind all the soil that had accumulated at the bottom, and I had seriously more weight on my hips than I ought to have.

I might have missed some of your blogs. You say you’re finishing with Growing Communities – what’s next?
Perhaps you’d like to come and help me with my WordPress blog – I haven’t told anyone about it because there’s hardly anything there yet, and I’m finding it incredibly difficult. A huge effort produced the artichoke, which is called a blavator, or gravator (I have been reprimanded for not understanding the difference).
