  • Morning all not a lot to report this week, I fallen over and twisted my ankle again but not before I finish cutting the wooden frame for the greenhouse base.

    You may be saying well he’s spending a lot of time and money on the green house base. Well it’s like this I have a very uneven garden and in the two meters I have a fall of around eight  inches, maybe more but I want maximum soil on the inside of my greenhouse without losing it to footing also I want to add some wooden posts to the inside of the green hose to attach wire for my tomatoes also money is a big factor. The wood I picked up was on sale 6x2.4m decking wood sealed for only £18.00 I think it was a bargain and it’s thicker than most decking at a whopping 32 mm were as the decking that I already have is only 20 mm (this needs replacing next year as a chair with me sat on it broke through a big knot. This this also were I intend to pinch the wood from for raised beds and compost bin I shall be cutting the wood and routing my posts for this project later is month.

     

    Not to miss out on free compost I have my green  waste this year in to green bins I use for recyclingI may even keep it  going in a plastic bin and just empty it out after two or three months. I keep a bucket it the garage for when I have muddy boot on just to pee in and then I empty it on to my compost bin.

    I have also started to collect leaves for my garden but I only have three smallish trees and a neighbouring tree that will soon just sneeze and shake all its leaves at any time all over my garden however like Monty did last week was to take his lawnmower out to his lawn and collect leaves for composting I’m going to do the same but I’m taking my lawnmower down the local walk way/ park and bag it up to take home (only about 300 yards and I’m collecting).

    I have to re-pot some herbaceous perennials the names I have forgotten but I will have a look on line as to their names but these need re-potting as I haven’t decided where I’m going to plant them and they are beginning to look pot bound.

     

    Ok I’ve found the names of the plants I need to re-pot  

    Papaver “double tangerine” Spanish poppy

    Echinacea Pallida “coneflower” Purple flower

    Echinacea Paradoxa “coneflower” Yellow flower

     

    I will post this on my new Blog which I have started while it looks a little bit empty at the moment I hope to fill it with my hope dreams and desires also on-going projects which at the moment have doubled in size.

    Glad you decided to put the blog on a dedicated blogging site, it so much easier to read/navigate/digest and actually displays properly on apple devices.
