The ten sleepers for the greenhouse bas arrived on friday morning, delivered to the front lawn. I had a brainwave during the afternoon at work and we managed to move them all to the back garden in under an hour without really lifting them at all. What was the brainwave, an old skateboard we found in the bushes a few years ago, it has done sterling work as a "dolly" for moving sleepers.
The greenhouse frame is now complete and the base is three quarters complete, with just one side to do. Then there are the two internal bed edges to do, a path across from the garden path to the door, internal paving for the non-bed areas, glazing, then maybe time to grow something in it.
The blue thing in the foreground is the redoubtable skateboard. Must get something planted rear left of this shot, just to screen the house from the footpath over the fence.
Allotment things, I have weeded the overwintering onions, all the strawberries and the other soft fruit. The latest lot of squash seeds have just started to emerge and I really should do some potting up of older seedling sweetcorn and squash. The climbing french beans sown outside in the coldframe have also just started to emerge. My son's peas have germinated, all three of them, heaven knows what got the rest, no signs of soil disturbance, ah well, we'll just have to sow some more.
