    Today, my surplus tomato plants and seed potatoes have raised £5.80 for the local hospice, and I still have lots left.

    Recently I've completely redone my front garden and am making a new area after having some enormous Leylandii removed at the back. Most if it is being filled with divisions from existing plants or finally planting out things I've been saving for ages (years) for these spots. Fir this reason it's all taking quite a while to take shape. But a couple of weeks ago I splashed out and ordered a few long-desired special plants for each. Due to all the covid delays and problems I wasn't expecting anything until at least next week or the week after, but everything has arrived in the last hour. I am so excited!

    Sorry, @LG_ I'm afraid the Leylandii is not a fir tree!  ;)

     :D@Papi Jo My 'o's and 'i's are always all over the place when I'm using my phone to type. So many 'if's that should be 'of's too.

    I'd be excited too @LG_ .
     I'm excited for a different reason - just had a Sainsbury's delivery and the wine is now sitting in the fridge. Can't have dinner until the wine is cold enough!

    My RTBC is that my new wheelbarrow, ordered weeks ago but delayed, arrived yesterday (and is now in quarantine).  I'd ordered a dumpy bag of manure which should have come last week - that's also delayed, so I didn't have to shift the manure in bucketfuls.   :)
