YAWN, YAWN, WAKEY, WAKEY - 2021

looking after my cordyline as instructed, I’ve put fleece then bubble wrap around the stem

 

No it’s wood frame with plastic windows, I’ve just put bubble wrap inside to keep the heat in

 

Ok ...I remember it now ,where do you keep it, close to a main house wall? If so I think it should be fine especially with the additional bubble wrap.

Imo...that is!!

 

it’s stood between our shed and the conifer, it’s gone a bit dull outside and very cold bbbrrrr

 

Has anyone heard how Verdun is doing?

 

Good morning everyone, complete turnabout in the weather today.....summer is over and it's winter once more. It was lovely while it lasted..

No @Flumpy haven't heard a word about Verdun , I know he had family issues to deal with. I think he's left the forum now as his name doesn't highlight up anymore .Sad isn't it, we've both known him a long time starting back on the GW Forum.

Re. Your greenhouse, I only mentioned a house wall because our large coldframe runs along one of ours and makes a big difference . Just keep a close eye on yours then and add more fleece if need be. Tonight we're in for hitting - 3 , so I will add yet another layer.

Have a lovely day everyone.

 

Good morning Upsydaisy , yes I remember Verdun on GW he was always telling me it never snows in Cornwall I knew he was pulling my legs.

we too have a layer of snow here, it was a shock when I opened the curtains , hope it clears later, I was meant to be picking my card and chocolate egg up from my parents today, fingers crossed the sun comes out, what are you upto today? Ho thanks for the advice too Upsydaisy

 

yay the sun is on my greenhouse

 

Hi there @Flumpy ..sorry just logged back on.
We have sun now too, not sure for how long.
If it's still sunny by 11 then I'll start moving all the seedlings back to the greenhouse for the day, trouble is there are well over 300!!

Not much planned for today ,just had our daily video call chat with my sister. Dinner is all prepared ( not sure if it will get eaten outside today though!,)

If it looks to remain sunny I will do at least one lot of laundry too.

I also plan to video call our eldest to see how things are with them...he looked absolutely shattered on Friday. They are both still having to work from home and both have very demanding jobs with equally demanding responsibilities. That on top of only moving a fortnight ago and having work carried out in their apartment while trying to keep a professional online appearance up for work is proving difficult .

Enjoy your day, and your choccy egg too.

 

Well that was a very nippy night!! I am nervously waiting for the sun to warm up the greenhouse before I dare to open it. Everything was covered in 4 layers of fleece before being placed in the bubble wrapped section of the greenhouse... nail biting times!!!

It has to be said we are enjoying a lovely sunny start to our day though.

Keep warm, keep safe!

 

Good Morning Upsydaisy and anyone else who is rising!, my car is just defrosting in the sun, thankfully I don’t have to set off until 8.20, it will be better as there will be no crazy school run cars on the road
The sun is working it’s way around to my greenhouse, I can see frost on it at the moment, lovely blue sky though. Hope you all have a lovely day and wrap up warm

 

Morning @Flumpy . Safe journey.

For our babies in the greenhouses!!
