Glasshouse Clean Up
I am exhausted this evening and all I did today was clean the glasshouse! But it was a big job and took all day.
First this morning, with hubby's help, we took everything out and put it on the lawn. Oh my God, where do I think I'm going to put all these plants!
Then I had to collect up and bag the masses of straw. Really messy! Then I washed the glass with warm soapy water, inside and out, except the very top outside because, well, I'm not Mr Tickle. Then I swept the floor and hosed down the glass and paving and washed the staging. But that was the easy bit!
The next job was to water all the plants while the glasshouse floor was drying. I also took all my seed pots out of their plastic bags and covered the tops with grit. It was so warm today that I wouldn't like to think of what temperature those plastic bags were creating inside.
So I started putting everything back into the glasshouse. It took ages as, of course, I was trying to arrange everything neatly and sensibly and to set up a special area with shading for fussy plants. Hubby called me in for dinner at 7:30 so I stuffed the last few things inside the door for sorting tomorrow.
