2025 - What I did today

Carried the "blowaway box" into the GH - not certain what was inside it! There was a new cover for a small blowaway (from Wilko - so I was right about that). Also a cover for a much larger blowaway - BUT the bits and pieces of metal in the box were just leftovers from previous blowaways. Not enough to build anything with! I had a large blowaway frame sitting around in the garden so I moved that into the GH. The New large cover fitted it with a bit of headroom to spare. Unfortunately, I've lost the wire shelves for the frame. I have one, but there are 4 missing. I scrounged some wire shelves from a smaller frame which will be enough to support a couple of seed trays on two shelves. I'm sure I'll be able to bodge something together for the other shelves. Not needed immediately as I don't have any seedlings to protect in there!

Managed to do a bit of raking in Veg Plot 1 (the old pond) and turned some of the heaps of composting grass and weeds elsewhere.
Went to the local garden centre in the afternoon - to buy a Diary. Had a meander round the garden centre which should be renamed as Christmas Tat Centre. Not a single packet of seeds in site - a few half price bulbs and lots of cyclamen, poinsettias and trees. They did have some amaryllis bulbs which were coated in wax. Apparently they need no potting up or aftercare . Just stick them on the shelf and watch them grow. Didn't seem natural to me so I left them.
I didn't come away empty handed though - I retrieved a small square, blue flowerpot from the pile of pots and trays for recycling.
Tonight's the night I write up my 2026 Diary - the one that tells me what to do each day.

With the number of 'plans' you have going atm, it'll take you a year to write it all down.
