Some children helped us move the frame but there were some unexpected problems which were hidden away behind the greenhouse.

Problem 1.

My favourite rodents have been tunnelling into the newest compost. As is obvious by the egg shells that had been discarded behind the greenhouse. Ho hum! We now need to work out what to do, as our fluffy dog obviously hasn’t got a problem with sharing the garden with them…

Problem 2.

More fence panels are coming away from the posts. I think we need to replace two of the panels…

Problem 3.

I haven’t planted any seeds yet…

Job 1: clearing the concrete slab of leaves and compost so we can put the potting shed on it and protect the glass in the biggest panels.

Job 2: the glass needs to be replaced in the greenhouse and it is balanced and level; but it obviously isn’t level as it should be on the gravel trays and at the moment the trays aren’t laid out properly and it will all need to be done as soon as possible so that the glass doesn’t break.

I think I might be working outside tomorrow… I have managed to fill three quarters of our green bin that was emptied yesterday; filling it with lots of spikes and some buddleia. I think it will be squashed to get more in. That will be necessary to get as much as I can in and before I start on the bushes that need culling up the fence that needs replacing. And all the spiky bushes in the front garden which I didn’t plant but my husband thinks I did…

The shed was reduced in the sale, by the way, and it was cheaper because fitting wasn’t included.
