Bright and sunny here this morning, woke up with a back ache, it would seem that sitting around for most of the day doesn't agree with me so will crack on today, general tidy up, shed to erect and paving slabs to lay. Moving some of the plants from the heated greenhouse to the polytunnel, hope it's not too soon but I am running out of space.
