Johnplotman's Journal

Well done John, great work, well sorted as always. Good day here to, but a very cold wind blowing.

we had a great day here too john. well a great day for the polytunnel. i was working away in the tunnel in my t shirt. every now and again i would forget how cold it was outside and head over the garden. it was cold but dry here.

God bless your energy John!

Are the metal structures childrens swings, minus the actual swings?  Are they for peas and beans? 

Took a look at your photos, John. I think I must have missed the journal where you mentioned the damage to your fridge. That was surely a big loss. And your poor Cordylines. You do have ample preparation area, between the seed room, shed and polytunnel. Loved the photos on your well-earned 2008 awards and trophies. You are a great asset to this site.

They are indeed Mairin.You are fully correct,childrens swings.I picked them up a few years back and held on to them or they were scrapped.They were a little over the top,but with a piece of sandpaper and a lick or two of paint they are back in use.Yes they are for the peas and beans.

The weather left its mark for sure Rachel.When i went out and saw the fridge-freezer,i did no know what to say,i was that shocked.The Cordylines and the Phormiums when i looked at them went hard on me,but the loss of my saved potatoes,autumn sown cabbages etc,really dug in deep.Especially and they having been checked on almost every evening from last autumn to make sure all was well,and that no potatoes had rotted.Space is no problem for sure.Thank you for the words about the 2008 awards etc.As i mentioned though,i was only a drop in the ocean when i looked at damage to other gardens from the club.
