extreme harvesting

Straight out of the lower 40, our beetrot crop AW09.

Who knew pulling beetroots

required protective clothing?

  13. What a good boy for helping with the harvest in the middle of a cricket game.

    I once wore cricked pads for a work cricket match (I was working for an English pub) and was astonished by how heavy they are to wear. I found running between the wickets SO difficult with those big heavy things on. But you'll be pleased to hear I was still named Man of the Match.
