Hi all yet another grey dull day here, not a lot to report, unfortunately there's some "paperwork " I had to do today so I will have to catch up outside tomorrow. Wet & windy forecast for Wednesday- Thursday.
Just popped in for a spot of lunch. Spent the morning barrowing gravel again, but the end is definitely in sight 👀. I’ve got college tomorrow and jab on Wednesday, so this is the last chance for a while ......need to crack on. We got one of the builders/landscapers to quote for making our veg garden at the same time as building the base for the greenhouse. The quote was eye wateringly expensive, hence the DIY. Every time we complete another days hard graft Mr C and I turn to one another and say “well that’s another grand saved”. Very satisfying 😉
Be careful with that thumb 👍🏻 @Hostafan1. Glad it’s splinted - no one wants a wonky thumb 😂
Garden club committee tonight ....by zoom. A full year now since we met in person.
@Hostafan1 I sliced my thumb with a lino cutter/craft knife whose name escapes me now. Clean cut, no infection but it's taken a month to heal and still feels tender. 6 to 8 weeks for a sledge hammered digit you were clever enough to dip in dirty water is pretty good going I reckon. Just behave yourself now.
OH has been tidying edges at the front and mowing grass. I have found a single shoot form my clematis Silver Moon which I thought was finally seen off by snails and drought last year so am very pleased about that. However, still cold in the wind so I snuck off down to the PT where, with the help of 6 chooks and 2 cats I've had a general tidy up and a bit of a re-organisation of the potting corner and then potted up my Meyer lemon, Limquat and Yuzu. Two half hardy fuchsias potted on into separate pots too cos I needed the big one they'd been sharing for the yuzu.
Now to sow some chillies and toms and put them on a heat mat to germinate and then a good shower and dinner. Chicken thigh, leek and butter bean tray bake with some limquats thrown in.
We've had a "remote" AGM and voting for the gardening club this year @chicky and I am now on t'committee. No meetings in view for us as we are more than 6 but if we get the go ahead - which I doubt - for the annual plant fair in late April we'll have to work something out. 40 nurseries already signed up and keen but who knows? I hope they appreciate your zoom talks.

Evening all! Got out yesterday and got the rest of my new bed dug up ready for some sort of mulch plus cleared up parts of the garden in general. Had plans today to at least get all the pots cleaned then got up and it was raining ☹ Got to the bottom of the stairs, coughed and pulled my back so that's me out of action for the day and the sun came out this afternoon too! On a plus note, I'm sat with my feet up and the kids are making dinner 😃
