View from a bit of our search area. As you can see , not the nicest of days.

 
Looks like Gods country to me having been brought up on a moorland setting myself. Glad you found the dog. Big Grin

I was happy for OH and myself to get the jab today. Hell of a job to get her to the Hospital and back, but hopefully well worth it ongoing. Big Grin

Saw the local barn owl again, looking huge and healthy. I wasn't so pleased that the rain set in after such a fine start this morning.

Another glorious sunny day brought out the first comma butterfly of the year and got MrPP out doing the first grass cut of the year. (He only 'gardens' if he can use the ride-on mower, chainsaw, chainsaw on a pole - a truly terrifying sight, or the industrial chipper!)
I now have piles of grass clippings for mulch scattered around the plot.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!  Smile

Rather dull, but today my two new doormats arrived, which means I can put them down as soon as Mr E has cleaned the conservatory floor and hopefully reduce the amount of mud that gets tracked in. One is a pretty machine-washable mat for inside, the other is a "Mud Hog" for outside - made from recycled fishing net!

The rubbish little Tesco where I have to do my grocery shopping (only place in walking distance) has bags of multi-purpose compost in stock right now. It's not the cheapest, but if I can buy some before it all sells then I can get some seeds started on my windowsill! I can't grow anything fancy and am going to have to utilise a variety of used yoghurt pots and similar to grow in, but I reckon I could at least get some salad greens and cress going. I'd already got a basket full of shopping before I spotted it (near the exit), so I couldn't carry compost as well. I may have to go back tomorrow evening as I would be absolutely gutted if it were all sold by the time I get there at the weekend.

I just really hope it's not full of gnats as it will have to be stored in my room!
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

The nearest Tesco to me has 2 40lt MP compost bags for £6 I think there is also 2 30lt seed and cutting compost for £5

    I managed to get my new shelving made today, the lower shelf can be raised up or removed when I plant my tomatoes, actually both shelves can be lifted out if required, and the support frame used for support for the tomatoes
