What I intend to do today/tomorrow!

[MartinRSharpe]

Friday
Continue general clean up of the tunnel and hopefully get rid of the last of the nettles that have got their way into everything over the autumn and winter.

Weekend
Clear the area that the greenhouse is being moved to and hopefully get the base in a state that it will be ready for the frame to go onto next week.

Clearing out behind OH shed found an old scaffold tower buried under conifer needles so have used part of it to make a timber rack for all the spare timber in the lean to at the allotment by putting them in an old pig pen. Using the needles for mulch spread around the woodland garden, still have about 5 sacks full left, might use them to mulch the paths between the raised beds. In addition there was a large compost bin which I thought was empty but was part full, must be several years old but still had whole eggshells in it, so the obviously don't compost well, also destined for the allotment. Got the walls of the shed erected and hoping to start the roof later. Plus laid some paving slabs along the front of the new greenhouse.
