Cheap seeds are appearing in cheap shops, so I bought a few packs of flower seeds, a few bare root roses, some seed starting compost, and some colourful primroses because my daughter and I are trying to grow a rainbow, as in a book she has
I also bought some greenhouse tape to try to bodge together my cheap and decidedly not at all cheerful greenhouse.

Only 20, how restrained you were. I'm jealous really.
I bought a soil thermometer today and some vine weevil poison. Sorry to all you organics out there, but I have my limits.
