All this was done outside in all weathers, how times have changed, looking at those row spacings, I bet they don't do it like that anymore?...[;o) The Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393815486440597141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365178818029938715.post-33410601970890610132018-07-14T20:01:04.076+01:002018-07-14T20:01:04.076+01:00ain kuvitella, mitä se tulee olemaan joulukuussa. ...ain kuvitella, mitä se tulee olemaan joulukuussa. :)Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365178818029938715.post-6347286550923571172018-07-14T19:59:42.654+01:002018-07-14T19:59:42.654+01:00I gave up counting Kay. :)I gave up counting Kay. :)Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365178818029938715.post-33246059111143296722018-07-14T16:28:03.811+01:002018-07-14T16:28:03.811+01:00Valtavan paljon sipulia!
