Digging the Dirt - Call a spade a shovel.

Time to get the spade out...but watch where your shoving it.

Having successfully shirked off the bulk of this years garden preparation last month the onset of Spring cannot be ignored any longer.

Ventures into the patch of late have been only to harvest an abundent crop of Purple Sprouting Brocoll, pull the last few non-bolted leeks from the tawdry row of leeks.

The self set Rockets and Mixed Niche Oriental Salad - Featuring leaf Mustards, Golden Streaked and Red, Komatsuna, Mizuna and Sky Rocket have now all gone to seed and so cleared to make way for this years sowing.

It seems chickens have little taste sensation - the seven feathery cluckers next door quite happily noshed through the leaves even thought the red mustard was blisteringly hot - we wait the next batch of eggs with interest.

All weel and tranquil on the plot until - what the heck my spade sliced a huge pile of Dog Muck.

My Patch happens to be on a bridleway that is well used by walkers, cyclists and DOGS.

Get orrff my land Rover

What is it about some dog owners who allow their "woofers" to plop their excrement willy nilly with no intention of clearing it?

Eee by 'eck these antisocial unconcerned awfully selfish (asus) owners are too proud to stoop to scoop the poop

Its not just me - the whole row are up in arms - especially those with toddlers who are keen to prevent them becoming turdlers. We just don't need this wretched vile manure - "keep the plop on your own door stop"

Comunity action - and in no time a sign was erected using a bit of hardboard with the simple message "Dogs that S**t will be Shot"
