It's great to have something growing well isn't it Gavin  :)

Makes the effort seem worthwhile.
Good luck with it.

Planted the garlic yesterday. It's late I know, but I'll definitely get more garlic if I plant it now than wait until next year!!

Built the greenhouse!

Now I just need to buy/beg/borrow/steal some polycarbonate or perspex to go in it. Our site has a 'no glass' rule!

Herb... well done on not having a hard floor... so many people grow in tiny tubs and expect huge veg... I have done mine like that as well so the roots can get into some good deep soil..

I had every intention of clearing one of the larger areas (10m x 7m) of weeds, managed to clear dried up god knows what before the rain came.





Will be back later in the week to tackle it once again!

Enjoyed a Coffee in the shed with feet up and messed around with Instagram...

Sorry to go slightly OT.

Herb ask any scafold firm for some ...flex 'sorry forgot the right name' they use it on scafolding jobs its really tuff and works a treat, mine is coverd in it lol.

Have you got a picture? It will help the search! PM me if you have any!

Herb... well done on not having a hard floor... so many people grow in tiny tubs and expect huge veg... I have done mine like that as well so the roots can get into some good deep soil..

I never understood putting a hard floor in a greenhouse! There'll be a hard path down the middle and that's it!

Dug, and dug and dug again to try and get over yesterday's heartbreak at Wembley.  :( :(
Then sat down quietly to watch the woodpeckers, robins and Jays.
