New thread for a new year of Doing!

Sown seeds
Tidied & watered the 4 strawberry hanging baskets.
Unloaded 25 sheets of 120mm thick insulation, some friends brought up for us ( so much cheaper than buying locally.
Dug up lot of brambles from the little tree plantation.
Collected another 14 sticks/ branches for my rose arch construction.

Some of you may remember I mentioned my leaking plot shed last year. Anyway, up until now I've had a trug collecting the water then I remembered what Vinny jokingly said last year.

Today I put a spare waterbutt in its place! It will collect more and make emptying a lot easier

Does that not take up a lot of room in the shed Danny? Perhaps a new roof??

Not really Jen its one of those tall narrow ones.

Tbh I think the shed will do well to last another year. As the plot is not mine I'm not sure what to do however it falling apart/down may force my arm

Quick hour at the plot, weeded/tidied one of the 3x1 metre beds and covered half in manure

Tidied up the GH lettuce collected twigs/branches from the beds and lawn.

Covered the other half today.

As its the start of a new season and all thoughts lean to sowing and growing, perhaps in the 'What I did today' section, dare we have a 'what seeds/things I ordered today'? A place to chat about those secret online orders we've bought but perhaps aren't owing up to? Your secret will be safe with us.
Feel free to shoot me down in flames if not
