It&#8217;s a place to hang out and enjoy the moment. Bring your kind self. To put things in perspective; this has been going a month, and there is only one of me.<\/li><li>Covid-19 precautions; Try to keep two meters apart. The media has been flooded with practical advice; just use it. <\/li><li>There is limited parking, it would be great if you can walk or cycle. The road has lots of potholes and not ideal for lowered cars with spoilers and scoops.<\/li><li>There is no toilet (yet). For those who don&#8217;t mind, the &#8220;P&#8221; bucket is available. The contents go onto the manure pile. There is a secluded area at the side of the shed with a fabulous view. If all else fails, Asda have a loo, as does Queen Margaret Hospital. <\/li><li>Vegetable seedlings will be available for sale but don&#8217;t expect &#8216;Garden center&#8217; uniformity, branding or quantities. <ul><li>I&#8217;ll not have much change for notes and can&#8217;t take a credit card. <\/li><li>Bring carrier bags if you&#8217;re planning on buying.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>It&#8217;s a little rough around the edges, I know it could be less rustic but it&#8217;s not in my nature. <\/li><li>It&#8217;s been wet for ages so the ground is muddy and can be slippery.<ul><li>wellies, muckers or trekkers are ideal.<\/li><li>Wear high heels at your own risk and that applies to the ladies too. <\/li><li>There is the odd divot and lump so please take care walking around<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Kids and dogs are welcome, just keep them under control, on a leash where appropriate and bag and bin any poop.<ul><li>If you bring a bucket, I&#8217;ll show the kids how plant a seed potato in compost and you to take home. Big kids are welcome to bring a bucket too. <\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Make-your-own tea and coffee, will be provided with a washing up bowl and paper towels. I&#8217;m hoping to make some biscuits too. For those concerned about Covid-19, boiling water has been used for millennia to kill viruses, bacteria and pathogens, there will be wet wipes too. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a concern about coming, there will be more open days and by then things will be a little more organised. Perhaps there may even be a loo in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The garden is really a field, near the house. Here are a few things to be aware of.
