The main goal today was to get the strawberries planted out, which was a bit of a challenge given how much rain had fallen overnight. The ground is absolutely sodden, which was a real shame given that it has been … Continue reading →

It’s all been a bit crazy because of Storm Eunice, but I escaped to the greenhouse (which has developed a very slight lean over the last few days that I’ll have to fix in the summer) for a short while … Continue reading →

It’s been a bit of a disjointed weekend for me. I had plans to do loads of stuff, but ended up spending a fair bit of it being “washing machine repair man” so there are plenty of things on my … Continue reading →
