I didn't intend to, but I have washed down the inside of the greenhouse with a sterilising solution that I've used since I was a lad. Turned the soil over and sunk most of the pots in the soil to act as an insulation from the worst of the frosts.

The weather was unkind. The ground was very wet on Saturday and apart from spraying a few whitefly at the allotment (SMC oil) and tidying and nipping a few dead heads off at home nothing got done. Sunday was much, much wetter than forecast and all I managed was to remove some of the finished tomatoes in the greenhouse and discover blight on the 3 remaining plants at home, which I also removed.
