Anyway, I've just had a bad bit of luck with my garden here. That quake just heaved a bunch of rocks into the middle of my patch! Would you mind moving them? Simply tap on a rock to pick it up. Then tap where you want to throw it.

Thanks aplenty. You really helped me out there. It's not much, but here's something for your trouble. Please, I insist!
