I put the capillary matting down in the big greenhouse while Ray and Phil tried to fix the rips in the polytunnel :(

did nothing on lotty weather 2 bad pea soup all day.

still spring cleaning 4 valuers all but one room in the house painted, carpet cleaner arrives tomorrow we have 30 hours to finish the house. oh and i have 2 re paing all the skirting boards & doors.

we have managed to fill 3 family sized green wheelie bins (2 were ours one is neighbours) with magazines and sheaded old bills some since 2002 wow but only half a black wheelie bin of rubish ;) 1 bag of clothes to sally army and a black sack of books to the local library ;-)

Got 3 trips of boxes in the car to go, and a desk, beer fridge, filing cabinet & coffee table all to be packed away.

Allotment would be more fun but at least the house is clean, tidy and dust free as my eyes are running non stop at the moment.

Hi

Well spent the day digging today and enjoying the sun, but god it was still cold. Hoping for a warmer day tomorrow

Welcome Barry, yes we are meant to have a balmy 10 or 13 deg tomorrow, and a warm night as well. Then I guess it will snow next week :P :-\

Welcome Barry... hope you like the site...
Confined to bed until midday... but OH started 240 Onions in cells and then I dug some bits of HorseRadish.... and posted them off.

welcome to the site Barry.

I'm hoping for an ok day on Friday - I've got the day off! As long as it doesn't rain all day, I'll be happy...

Managed to finish work early today and spent an hour on the lottie until it got dark. Even then I didn't want to leave! Only did a bit of digging for my potato bed - they're chitting in the hallway at the moment so that's extra incentive as soon as I get home!

We went and got some horse poo. OH forgot the spade so we used our hands (we did have gloves on because that was MY job and I remembered). It was great fun :D :D

Pricked out seedlings..................did shopping ugh..............then had little energy for much else as I was up till silly o'clock waiting for the eclipse, which didnt want to be seen :(

manicscousers · « **Reply #473 on:** February 21, 2008, 20:58:55 »

went to inspect the rest of the capillary matting that ray and phil had sorted, looks really good and it works ;D
spent the rest of the day sowing seeds, brilliant ;D

Mal, so sad to read of your poly tunnel news. I hope something really nasty happens to the blighters responsible for the damage i.e. all their digits drop off one by one, they get the green apple quickstep every weekend for the forseeable future, and the only cure is to eat their bodyweight of the veg they hate most every day. >:(

Emagggie · « **Reply #475 on:** February 21, 2008, 23:28:02 »

BW noticed the trees this morning :o.....and I was saved by the door bell.
Hopefully nothing more will be said until he mows the lawn. ;D

cornykev · « **Reply #476 on:** February 22, 2008, 19:28:58 »

Sowed tommies, celery and celeriac yesterday, dug over the soil and de-stoned ready for the carrots and harvested leeks, cabbage, carrots and PFA spuds today. ;D ;D ;D

cambourne7 · « **Reply #477 on:** February 22, 2008, 21:25:41 »

well I had planned on going to the lotty today after i brought the carpet cleaner back and picked up my currency. Instead i had to come home and call the car insurance so some idiot decided to back into my parked up stationary car. The MAN was driving a 3 week old merc and his insurance will cover it so no harm done just a little inconveniance. But when i finished with the insurance people it was 2 late to go to the lotty.

My tomatos, courgettes and pumpkins are just starting to pop there heads though and might be ready in about 3 weeks to go out hopefuly when the weather is better.

Stayed at home and sorted out the greenhouse at last! Moved out the last of the used growbags, swept up and hosed everything down, just got to assemble my two new mini greenhouses ready to go inside (I use them for hardening off as the greenhouse isn't heated) and sort out my growing arrangements for this year.

I'm thinking of swapping the staging in my home greenhouse with the lottie one, as the one at home isn't as tall or long, and the bigger one is in the smaller greenhouse which is not very sensible! That will have to wait until tommorrow when OH with van is available...... ;)

Just back from two hour stint put in another raised bed and started to break down the winter digging I have done, it is now just right for the rotovator to run over which I will do on Monday, to morrow will be putting some muck and compost in the raised bed, I don't believe it but I seem to be spending more time on the lotty than I do at work(only work part time now) :)
