SM raid done but not LIDL as it was persisting down and they're too cheap to build shelters in the car park so you and your car freeze, get blown to bits or soaked in bad weather or fry in good weather. Getting nesh in my dotage.
I did find some feed for citrus plants and some pretty primulas as well as the rest of the stuff I needed and they even had lamb's kidneys! and lamb belly which is delish done Nigella style with cumin and nigella.
Now to make a banana gingerbread for Sunday's willow weaving class.
No greenhouse/polytunnel/coldframes Pdoc?

Obelixx, I have a unheated greenhouse, but it is still a bit cold for tiny seedlings and certainly for non hardies. I keep thinking about getting electricity out there, but it is over 100 yards from the house, so would be very expensive.

Really? We're expecting to have to get the mini digger man back to clear the foundations of an old farm building and thought that while he was on he could do us a trench between the house and veggie plot so I can bury leccy and water pipes - enough to see what I'm doing after dark and water easily in drought periods. Maybe I should think solar lights instead.

Problem here is that we would have to dig up drive, which runs through the garden and is not owned by us, as well as digging up some well established areas of garden.

Hi everyone - hope all is well. I had a lovely lunch with my Sis in a small cafe, which I have walked past many times but never been in. Small in size but big in heart - great service, fantastic food and very welcoming. Had a special called The New York: a brunch type dish which was basically poached eggs on toast with bacon and avocado- but each element was perfectly cooked and very tasty.

hi after the heat on tuesday thatwas 44.5c hosta would have loved it ,too hot for our painter today we have had 5mm of rain and its still raining temp down to 24c every one is conplaining of the cold, just up my street. Hope every one is ok.
LP sorry to hear your grandaughter is poorly, must have missed the post. Hope she feels better soon.
Have just sat down to recover after potting up 40 plug plants that I retrieved from the neighbours. They are all good plants and hopefully will thrive, I'm keeping them on the dining room table until Monday when they will go into the frost free greenhouse.
Bought some English bluebells and violas from Webbs (20% off today for card holders). Made the mistake of popping into Ashwoods for some compost and ended up buying another Hellebore. It's dark purple. When I get a minute I'll post a piccy.
Shame about your painting job Glenys but it must be good to be cooler.
LP - any news on little 'un?
Pdoc, we just have to cross this lot between the annex and the polytunnel Looking at old ground plans, it seems there was one of those old agri buildings with stone floor and foundations at either end and then a beaten earth middle where they kept machinery and hay and so on in the higher central part. All the building has long gone except for the stones and some eejit has laid a fabric weed membrane and covered it with teeny grey gravel and some other eejit - or maybe the same one - has then sunk concrete to hold the metal poles for a big triangular swing set.
We need a machine to shift all the crud and then we plan to make it our outside seating/eating area with a pergola and a fire pit and so on. No treasures or neighbours to worry about thankfully.
