Absolutely nothing, but I am on my easter break. I might walk about it tomorrow if the weather is fine.

Pressure washed the patio and pathways as they were in a terrible state and very slippery. Plus OH bought me a nice new pressure washer for christmas after the old one let all the blue smoke escape and then went bang.

Also to beat the hosepipe ban coming at the end of the month.

Going to rotovate a small area and get my first earlies in tomorrow before the rain at the weekend.

It's all go, and I love it :)

Carried on getting the greenhouse ready for the oncoming season, placed white acrylic sheeting round the downsun sides to reflect the light and to the rear of my propagation table. Emptied out the water butt into the raised beds in the greenhouse and ensured the water collecting system was water tight.

Quite busy really. ::) Cheers, Tony.

Put the potatoes in, Lady Christl, Cara and Desiree, today. Thankfully an overcast cool day for doing it.

Keep at it and add as much compost as you can through the year as working the soil really does pay off. :)

cornykev · « **Reply #5675 on:** March 18, 2012, 18:04:20 »

transplanted verbascum and russian tarragon, made up pots of freesia bulbs for the plant sale, coming along nicely ;D
planted up my trailing strawberry runners, and put the rest of the freesia bulbs around the pond :)

Same as Gawrc - first grass cut of the year.
Lawnmower (petrol) refused to start until 3rd day of repeated attempts ::)
