    Got most of my bedding in today. I thought I'd grown too much, but it looks like I'll have to buy some more as I've still got empty spaces. :)

        I have never worked so hard for so little pay in my life :-)

        No really it is my intention to keep doing this, helping me keep busy
        That is why I joined the site last year, bought a greenhouse, took all the advice you all have offered
        As my own patch is so small, just keep doing jobs for the daughters families,

        I think my next job is Roan cleaning and painting the facia's

            Jack, if your own patch is to small, what about an allotment? :)

                Haven't had a chance to do much today, I've been struggling to set up a new wireless printer. Job done now though! Just stacked a load of pots and trays I'd washed a couple of days ago. :)

                Yay! :hapydancsmil: Finally got my grass cut!

                Just as well, got a phone call from the letting agent - they are coming for a visit on Sunday - apart from the borders being a bit of a 'work in progress' at least the place looks tidy. :)

                  Took the day off and have once again been digging! Have succeeded in "finishing" the central planting area. It has gone from this..................

                    Put in a small raised planter and put trellis up and planted all my sweet peas. Put some more manure and compost in the border as the level had dropped to low. Stihl saw coming tomorrow to cut slabs and finish path, so hopefully I can get some plants in new borders over the weekend.
