Cheap bulbs that look like allium but they aren't!!
Potatoes in tubs in conservatory!
Love it! good skills Red, I started 3 weeks ago. some doing well others not so much but i just could'nt wait!
now though i have a back log for the windows -
next week looks better though. moving plants out bit by bit to green house.
planted out summer bulbs today. been waiting to do that forever. they are in a massie planter in front garden under kitchen window ( more like small raised bed)
I'll start my spring sow this week. I've been very unenthusiastic about it all. Cold outside, cold in the GH, though better if the sun comes out. Just can't get the neccessary push.
Back to work on tues and then the garden becomes my escape and switch off time!
Horrid thing is the oil ran out last night so we are blooming cold, except the conservatory will still be warm with the heater keeping them going!!!
Same here with the oil, annoying thing is how much more it costs when you go to pick some up. Apparently it costs more to maintain the pump than to drive a Lorry a 20 mile round trip...
On the plus side a (relatively local garage) has started selling oil in drums and its open 24 hours.
Do you have one of those wireless gauges for measuring the oil? We had one at previous house and it seemed to work well. Phoned the oil people when it got to a certain level and they were usually out within a day or so.
