                  • My next door neighbour is letting me use their greenhouse that hasn't been used for years. It was full of spiders and webs and I tried to clean it, sort of, between shrieking because the spiders were chasing me. Also i fed my tomatoes, peppers and chills, tidied up my spinach, sowed some little gem seeds, cut back my bay tree and pulled up a few of my rudolph potatoes for dinner.
