Love to Pat,Boy rholden, that looks posh,(and expensive) always loved the idea of a wooden green house, would you get enough light though, the green house part is like my potting shed
Morning all, heavy frost here first thing. Spent the first hour of the day keeping the squirrels away from the bird food. Big day today, after SM shop delivery we are off to get our 2nd dose of the vaccine, hope it's better organized than the first time. Then up to deliver SIL his Birthday card, from a distance of course.
Morning all, rather nippy here with a frost, had to have 2 pairs of thermal socks on last night!! Still the cats came and kept me warm. The heating switched itself on at 5am so it must have been rather chilly!!
The greenhouse / shed combo has been a dream of mine. We don't have a particularly big garden so don't have room for both and that is the only corner it could go in. The roof, front and side will all be styrene and the sun comes over from the back of the garden, we have an roughly east facing garden so will have sun above the majority of the garden rotating over it from around 9-6 in the high summer months. It will never be a full greenhouse but it's the best we can get where we are
Morning all, sunny and cold here. Take it easy Pat and Hosta. OH has gone to do the SM shop this morning with his "attestation" as shops are over the permitted 10k. Everything was fleeced over in the GH last night, have just uncovered as the sun is in there now. Take care all.
Morning all, glad to hear you're recovering @Pat E, that must have been a hell of a bang! Lovely thought of your son to bring Pixel down with him to keep you company whilst you're poorly. 2 hours on a bike is not my idea of fun, DD, haven't been on one for years. It was snowing hard as we went to bed last night but obviously didn't settle. Only about 5 or 6c at the moment so no gardening for me. I'll probably drive OH up to his physio appointment later on as his knee is so very painful. The exercises are tough but 'no pain, no gain' as they say. Hope it's worth the money. If I drop him off at the clinic, the GC's only 5 minutes away so may just have a wander.
That credit note soon burned a hole in my pocket - new plants on order, original ones sadly no longer available, another mission for another day. This is my new order:
Plume du Kansas ou Liatris spicata Kobold Godet de 9cmDisponible
Digitalis obscura - Digitale obscure Disponible
Aruncus dioicus sylvestris, Barbe de Bouc en godet de 8 cmDisponible
Achillée millefolium Feuerland Godet de 9cmDisponible

Love liatris spicata @D0rdogne_Damsel ....such a good doer over such a long season. The others are new to me (achillea only seems to survive a season here, so I’ve given up on it)
Having another indoors day .....its just too cold to garden - the mulch mountain is capped with a dusting of snow ❄️
Instead I am having a contented day on the sofa with “my real garden” - a book full of real life experiences of life during lockdown from 100 gardeners. Collected by the irrepressible Ann-Marie Powell .......it really is very uplifting. A testament to the Power of Plants (and Instagram 🤣). Would highly recommend for anyone who likes to search for silver linings 🌦🌈

@Pat E that looks horrible ( in a warm loving way )
New meds for me so a bit groggy this morning.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
