It may be boring to some but this is the first time I have tried to grow anything, so here are a few more pictures of the plot took recently:

The lettuce are coming on great. We have already pulled some up for us and the family. The stuff going around the outside is rhubarb leaves pinned to the ground with small sticks to stop them blowing away. They are there to stop slugs:


Radish. The one on the right is about average whereas the other one is HUGE!


This is a line of onions. They have been slow so far but are still slowly growing:


I am really pleased with these potatoes. They should be OK to dig up on 30th June. :-)

Right then, time to big up some new(ish) releases.

01. Loss Adjuster (excerpt Pt.1)
02. Don't Let Him Waste Your Time
03. Black Magic
04. Heavy Weather

06. Baby's Coming Back To Me

14. Running The World (Hidden Track)

After all these years, Jarvis carries on from where he left off with pulp, releasing some lyrically fantastic, moody, timeless tracks. It may take a few listens but once your hooked you keep finding yourself humming any one of these great tracks. If you liked pulp, then this is a must have for your collection!




Second is Orbsessions Volume Two by The Orb.

This second outing of previously (un)-released tracks is once again on the Malicious Damage label therefore one can expect lush packaging and you won't be dissappointed! There is a poster included in the bespoke packaging (see if you can spot Battersea Power Station on it :) ) and if ordered directly from Mal. Dam. you get a little pin badge. Very collectable!
