Holla rhubarb and custard,

many fine welcomes and mibbe think about getting someone in to do some garden share if you haven't got the time. Mibbe even just to prepare it for later in the season?

You can always get woofers for bed and board or some locals without ground who'll do it for a cut of the produce?

Anyway you've brought the weather with you I see

That has given me food for thought --Sorry to hijack your thread rhubarb abd custard
I have dim recollections of a scheme where people come and work in the country for bed and board and possibly a bit of spending money. It might solve some of my garden problems this year. How do I find them? and has anyone any experience of the scheme either as host or labour?

Hey Rhubarb and Custard, where for art thou? Have we scared you half to death with thoughts of a 'Neep' invasion. We Huntly-ish folk are becoming quite a crowd.
