    Hi @Pat E

    @Hostafan1, even if I were to become addicted, and I can see how it might happen, there is no way I'd fit a polytunnel the size of yours into the garden. :wink:
    They're tough as old boots, they don't need to be in a tunnel.

    Good morning all  :D ☕☕☕

    We've been up a while .... the kitchen has been almost emptied ... windowsill is clear of seed trays and all babies are in the studio or on the dining room windowsills.  Coffee and tea making facilities  are set up on the dining room table together with two 'Cornish-style' pasties for our lunch (PVC table cloth underneath together with old tea towels in case of spillages), the car has been moved so that the engineer can back his van up to the garage ... he'll enter the house via the garage and that end of the studio ... and windows in the kitchen and studio have been opened as requested. We have masks, gloves and sanitiser at the ready should we need them. I think we're as Covid secure as we can be.  

    What have you lot been up to?

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • Oh @Hostafan1, don't encourage me. :smiley:,

    Whilst you're about, can I ask some advice? The well which is having a new roof put on it and re-pointed is taking longer than anticipated; we waited over a week for the wood to be delivered.

    Empress Wu, is going in the semi circular bed in front of it, it is in a pot at the moment, to protect is from builder's boots, but it is getting bigger everyday....should I re-pot it again, it might be another week or 10 days before I get it the ground?

    That looks like a flower spike forming. I'd remove to put energy into leaves.

    This is what I am hoping for @Busy-Lizzie, if I ever get it in the ground. 

    Btw, my tree men left me loads of the wood chippings (I asked them for it) proved very useful for mulching. Not sure what you are having chopped but might be an idea.

    Morning everyone,  we are going to Wisley today.  We are meeting up with my big sis & her husband.  Wish us luck with the M25! 😬 Hope this cold wind drops.
