    Just getting back into gardening after being off my feet ( literally) for last 6 years , using crutches to move about , have a 2m x 3m poly tunnel with an over enginered bench and a couple raised beds .
    This whole virus has put the brakes on getting things finished bed wise , no soil;/
    Do have some bits in the propergaters just starting to show signs of life .
    Look forward to perusing the forums and engage rather than lurking ;)
    Regards
    Grumps

      Hi @Mrgrumpy

      :sign0016:

      Welcome to Gardeners Corner :)

      Glad you're getting back to where you can do things.



      How much soil do you need ? Don't forget places like The Range are still open and B&Q are open for Click and Collect. I daresay there are other places on line as well that are doing deliveries.

      I really do think it's important that we keep as many businesses as we can open and the cashflow of the Country moving around whilst we can in these funny days.

      Good Luck

      PS don't forget the piccies ( we're a nosy lot on here :) )

        Sounds like a project in progress @Mrgrumpy ,agree with @KFF click and collect is a very good option if you are able to get out or perhaps have someone who could oblige. :dbgrtmb:
