        I'd like a steady 78f, sunny all day, rains between 3 and 6 a.m. and a gentle breeze both day and night @ARMANDII but the gods refuse to cooperate!

                We have a rubbish skip at home at the moment. So I nipped down the allotment and stuffed the boot of the car with bin bags full of weeds. I would normally have dropped them off at the recycling centre - but as I say we already have a half full skip on the driveway.

                I was very careful driving back home - I didn't want the police to stop me and find that I was in possession of several bags of weed...

                    Not today but tomorrow, I am finally going to power wash my drive. Yesterday I did all the weeds so today is my rest day as the back was a little achy! First time using the power washer so very excited to see all the dirt just disappear!

                      @Helogive Welcome to GC :dbgrtmb:

                      Pressure washing seems to go quite easy to start with but can put a lot of pressure on your back. Try and stand as straight as possible when doing it. If the lance is short you end up bending over. Most washer you can get extended lances for :)

                        Snowed all night and most of the day. Packed up the dahlias today I didn't have any dry compost to store them in so used woodchip this year should still do the job :fingers crossed: also rapped my begonia up and put them into storage . The only eventful thing I've done in the garden is almost slipping on my ass trying to take the short cut across the lawn :phew:

                        I really could do to plant my allium bulbs if the snow gone by tomorrow I may have a go.

                            Nothing to do at to the moment, more interested in getting things done for Christmas, in the new year I'll start again. I have got things in line to do got to cut the hellebore leaves off, going to replace some of the redcurrants with blackcurrants and dig up some gooseberries that don't do well.
