Swimming, 11th December 2020
I skipped Thursday as I wasn’t feeling great at all and as I didn’t really know how things were going to go I stuck with the same session plan as earlier in the week. It all went pretty well really. … Continue reading
Veg plot 2020: Baby leaves only
Nine days since my last pick of the winter salads and the growth rate has really dropped off a cliff. I went to pick what I could earlier today and got at most a couple of small leaves from each … Continue reading
Greenhouse reassembly progress
I think I’ve worked out where most parts of the “new” greenhouse fit now, and I’m over halfway to having the frame reassembled. I’ve had to straighten out a couple of the frame members which had presumably been bent whilst … Continue reading
Swimming, 8th December 2020
It was a bit of a shock when I got into the pool today. A touch cooler than normal. One of the swim teachers who was swimming told me it was 29C. I guess they’re not so worried about the … Continue reading

A greenhouse jigsaw
Braving the rather chilly northerly wind today I sorted through all the bits of what I believed to be the 10×10 greenhouse and separated them out into similar parts. After that I could start to decide which pieces went where … Continue reading
Veg plot 2021: How do you like them onions?
Having posted yesterday about how the garlic was doing so well, a little update on the multi-sown onions that were planted out during the second week of October. These are the (Red Baron) red onions, sown at the very end … Continue reading
Swimming, 3rd December 2020
Back to the pool after another enforced lay-off due to Covid restrictions, and I have to admit that it was tough. Not as bad as it was last time, exactly four months ago, but far from easy. I think I … Continue reading
Veg plot 2021: Garlic going great guns
Despite very little else growing outdoors at the moment, the garlic that I planted on 10th October seems to be going well. To be fair the onions are also looking quite healthy and I should perhaps post a photo of … Continue reading
