    Pruned the autumn raspberries and cleared up veggie garden today. Cleared away tomato supports and OH did the runner bean ones, should have done them earlier. Then OH went to the DIY shop and bought wood to make new lids for the cold frames.

  • I quite fancy a small rock garden like the one on the garden prog, the other night. Also fancy a water feature of some sort.

    No Gardengirl. I have a row of 3 makeshift cold frames along the side of the GH which I made from French red brick building blocks, they are quite thick and have square holes in the middle of them. The lids are just wood frames with polycarbonate. For ventilation I put bricks under the fronts to raise them and if it's very windy I put bricks on the corners. They are about 4m long and about 70cm wide divided into 3.

    Hi all. Thanks for the support. Really struggling to motivate myself in all areas at the mo. Your kind words mean a lot image 

    Gg, they look like beautifully wrapped plants, you must have been so excited to get them. 

    Clari, your sock story did make me giggle, I hope you don't mind x I do hope your back improves, I know having bad back can be so debilitating.

    Verd, glad Spike is improving, and sorry to hear about your friend. 

    Lily, hurrah it's Friday tomorrow! All I need for the weekend is some sunshine. Don't mind if it's cold. Just a bit of sunshine will do me. What do you recon? Crossing my fingers image
