Kenny from Shettleston Growers cam to help us. We planted strawberries from Wimbledon, onions, spring onions and lettuce. We put in new compost. We dug it in and broke up the lumps with a trowel or a rake. Kenny put netting over it so the birds won’t eat the plants.

CC- There were cows. I made butter. I shook it. I tasted it on crackers. It tasted good. It was better than in my house. It would go yucky if we took it home because it had no salt.
