I'll do a garden inspection today. I might take some pictures. Time marches on and all the jobs you left till winter are still not done and all the weeds are creeping to fill the few bare patches.
Yesterday I dug up my dahlias. I could have left them in probably but find it easier to start them off in a greenhouse when they start flowering that bit earlier. Also they were not all in the right places as they were smothering some roses. I had labelled 7 of them with their variety but when I looked for them, 3 of the labels were missing. I had used twine in October so either it perished very quickly or, more likely, that passing slugs or snails munched through it and the wind took them. Anyway I had to dig them all up again to make sure I didn't lose any.
Thursday I did sow my onions in trays - sturon, up-to-date and a sweet spanish. My bedfordshire champion packet was empty so I sent off for some more Yesterday and ordered some parsnip, tomato (orange banana) and some melons. Now I paid with a credit card so were they bought Yesterday or when I pay for them next month? May be I should have used a debit card.
