I seem to do very little new these days so.............
Week 14 - took down a fence that's been dividing the garden for about 8 years.
Week 15 - Went Yellow sticker hunting on a weekday evening instead of the usual Sunday afternoon and it was very successful - 49 items for £17 - £9 of which was for the 6 full priced essentials that I went for!
It was also a lot quieter without the usual vultures I see on a Sunday. Will do this again.
All potting on and pricking out is new this year, in the new gh. I highly recommend the new extra height staging I ordered, it's saved my back from disaster. Next year's plan during the winter is to raise the old staging in old gh a bit, but it's not essential as I don't often work in there now.
New for me this week. Broke my toe last night
.
Oh no, SC
Such a nuisance too - did my little toe a few years back and constantly seemed to walk into things with it.
Sorry to hear it SC, not a lot you can do about it, I believe, except wait for it to heal. That will be a hinderance.
Week 16 - Turned an old plastic dog bed into a muddy pond full of water lily roots in the hope that some roots will turn into water lilies.
Week 17 - Made Herb Salt - Dried Rosemary and Oregano from the garden and Himalayan Rock Salt mixed together in an empty Salt grinder. Haven't tried the mix yet so I may add a few more ingredients like black pepper and ???

You're a shining example to us all Veggie, I ran out ideas.
Bought that temperature data logging thing could be another one on the list.
Having to cover things in the gh every single bl@ddy night is another one!
I had to include things that weren't very original or taxing, JJB and I'm doing one now that may be TMI to share on here..........to do with toilet paper.
Did you mean to imply you're sitting on the throne posting to us??
. I can just imagine it, although I'm wishing I couldn't!
