2023 - What I did today

Didn't get much done in the garden today. However, I managed a bit of weeding and have sown some peas (for peashoots) and field beans - first things I've sown this year. I do want to get some things in the propagator (just some tomatoes that will be okay outside and some tomatillos, plus various flowers since I can't grow in the greenhouse this year) but I haven't had time yet.

I have spent most of my weekend clearing space for the majority of my stuff to finally move to my house from my Grandma's (where it has been stored since I left Grimsby in 2020). My parents just accepted an offer a month ago, and the buyer is pushing hard for completion in a week (having just announced this date a week ago). The solicitors aren't sure it's even possible, but we are trying our best.

I'm really upset that it means I won't get to walk around the garden one last time, but it is what it is.

I am taking quite a few bits of my Grandma's furniture along with the bits I had stored there. Some things have been given to charity, but we've tried to keep things with sentimental value. As the only person with a largely unfurnished house, that means most of it is coming to me. Moving it all with very little notice is proving stressful for everyone involved.

Here's the house, since I know you all like peeping at house listings! Just a shame you can't see the garden in its full glory. My Grandma was a passionate gardener and it is stunning most of the year round.
