I like the Pig-feeding trebuchet idea - mostly because I would love to see that in action!

Congrats (early and improperly Swiss) on the 100 editions - When I looked at your massive garden in the above photo, I thought... I'd like to know what that looked like at the beginning. So, for those who can't be bothered to dig through the archives (me), maybe a quick before-current journey...I think documenting that would be cool for the mostly new subscribers...

That is an excellent idea. I might very well do that!

Also, I can hold off on making the trebuchet until you get here! 😉

Maybe for next week put up a list of 49 regrets and one of 51 cherished recollections. You might accumulate all of these in a single day, even (probably not)

That's a really good idea. Unfortunately, I tend to forget things as soon as they have happened. I think I would really struggle!

The edges of the potager look pretty and i also think its well weeded. Well done.

It's finally getting there. But don't worry, there will still be plenty to do any time you want to come and do some more!

A trebuchet? I mean, it’s a long-shot. 😏

Hi!

I really like your currently reading books section. How about a link to Amazon (with an affiliate link)?

And the feeding by trebuchet is hilarious.

Cheers!

I really should make the trebuchet! Ahhh, the scourge of "priorities"!

Thank you for the amazon affiliate link idea. It turns out, it's super easy to join the programme, and create affiliate links. So I did. This should work for this week's book :)
