IT and plant pots.

Tidied our "study" today, now we are on BT broadband everyone except the dog seems to want to use the PC all day, so that was my chance to get it all set up correctly and tidy up. Had to upgrade the memory though, BT Yahoo stuff all wanted a minimum of 256Mb, so gave it 512Mb.
Finished off the greenhouse staging today. When I assembled the frame I managed to get the supports for the staging upside down. The whole staging frame is aluminum "angle-iron" and while the perimiter is "stick your thumb out to make a right angle and put your hand in the air" the supports should be "point your hand at the ground". Of course I had done the whole lot "point up", reasonably easy to sort, undo them one at a time, slide the brace up the greenhouse frame, rotate the support ninety degreess, slide it down below the staging, do the additional ninety degrees, slide back up and re-attach all bolts.
Populated the staging with the contents of all the cold frames and propogators littering the terrace and even did some potting up of geranium cuttings/plants evicted from the study.
Very satisfying.
