Uncivil Engineering


Alas, poor Polytunnel! I knew him, Horatio, a polytunnel of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. It hath bore me nothing whatsoever, and now how abhorr’d in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. The long awaited answer to – Will it survive the week? Nay, Nay and thrice Nay. Apparently things like rain and wind are a no no, this is unfortunate if you happen to live in Wales. Mrs Ob will have to make some amendments to her design methinks

Moron Soup (llai llai carrot)

Some morons (carrots) were left in the ground over winter so it was finally time to dig them up & have a look at them resulting in moron soup these are double the size of those harvested in Sept/Oct… maybe the key is dig them up when you’re not supposed to

Civil Engineering…….????


Here it is in all it’s majesty…. Mrs Ob has spent the day ‘erecting’ this from bamboo & plastic. will it survive the week? Well as it can get quite windy up here I know what my monies on. I’m all for recycling but I also believe in building a solid structure (remember the french & overcomplicated wardrobes (or packing crate as Mrs Ob likes to call them) (but not shit cupboard). Still 10/10 for effort now we wait and see. It is possibly the biggest cat toilet in the area.

But What Is It?

Twas the day before Christmas, not a soul was stirring, except for the Mrs who’s decided to dig up some parsnips for Xmas dinner

Apparently we’re eating this tomorrow – there may well be no further posts, wish me luck
