    Hello all

    Mattbeer87 wrote (see)

    What a lovely morning it was here, horrible now though.

    Can't complain as we need some rain (never thought I'd say that)

    Washed out all my pots and trays and built up a potting bench.

    I'll have to take some photos of inside the greenhouse, it's so full already!

    I have way too many canna's, the tuber I used last year just got stupidly big so I had to split it into about 10 plants.

     

    Mattbeer87 How did you build a potting bench in one day? and wash all your pots

    Been doing a bit of pallet bashing and hand bashing today painful, had help trying to get a tree stump out where my potting table will be going 

    Got my GW mag today as well snap

    What a lot, Bob. Have you a very big greenhouse?

    My GH is 10'x6' but the 'shed' is glazed and has a polycarbonate roof, Busy-Lizzie, so doubles-up for growing stuff and I've just erected a 4x2m polytunnel.  I'll still run out of space though as (like many of us here) my 'seed eyes' are bigger than my belly! image

    I always grow a few Ferline, scroggin, and those do seem pretty resistant but the taste is nothing special although still miles better than anything in the shops though! image Sungold also do well for me outside, too.

    Good morning all image Brilliant sunny morning here in Norfolk - temp down to 1.4C overnight - think it'll be lower tonight according to the forecast but they're only saying 0C, so I've probably panicked a bit by fleecing the fig, but the baby figs have started to swell and I'm looking forward to sitting out there and picking warm figs for breakfast again, so I don't want to risk them. 

    Talking of figs, have we heard from Alan 4711 lately?  Wondering whether he's busy with sowing seeds etc, or whether his spinal problem is preventing that sort of activity - think he's hoping they're going to operate soon.  Rotten thing for that to happen just as he moved house!

    Morning Dove and all you sleepy heads.

    Lovely sunny morning here too. But they forcast a very cold evening-the coldest since November with a frost over night. Think I'll put off planting my few little plants I got during week.

    Will get out there and tidy a little OH off to golfimage

    Fig tree sounds lovely Dove, is it in a pot and do you bring it in over winter? 

    Think our olive tree might be coming back in tonight image
