The wind has dropped considerably (I can now stand outside without holding on to anything).
Going to play in the garden. My choices are :
finish putting weed fabric down on paths between new beds.
Dig out roots and weeds from new beds.
Finish putting new floor down in little tunnel.

Going to play in the garden. My choices are :
(1) finish putting weed fabric down on paths between new beds.
(2) Dig out roots and weeds from new beds.
(3) Finish putting new floor down in little tunnel.

My choice would be to do 1 and 3 then make a cup of coffee and glare at the weeds till they wilted and died

Having taken a week off to help build a new chicken run, tomorrow will be spent clearing out the old runs (3) and deciding what I'm going to grow in them.
Something that appreciates lots of chicken manure, perhaps?

Today I will be looking at all my seed trays and pots to look for germination, I will do this at least 38,746 times just in case I miss something

I will also look through my box of seed packs and fight the inner urge to start sowing LOL
