It's no good, I absolutely must have a sixty hour day in order to get everything done. And preferably no need to sleep, as well...
LupinsIt's been a tad busy. I did manage to tackle the frewtnog pool yesterday - well, less pool, more Bog of Eternal Stench. Goat willow damageTook four large bucket loads of grass/weeds/slime for the compost bin and four large watering cans full of water to clear and refill it. It looks much better now though, and is a lot healthier.
More lupins. So pretty!



Kai's poor tree - not a healthy sight...


Most of yesterday evening was spent researching/organising material for the possible new project, tiring but necessary, and approved today by the appropriate people, so keeping fingers crossed.
Today I made a temporary coldframe.
makeshift coldframeRemember the mini-greenhouse replacement cover GoodTwin gave me as a birthday present? I don't like wasting anything, and have been considering how best to employ it for a couple of months. And I needed a coldframe of some kind for my marrows. So a bit of fineagling around, and this is the result! I've patched the open end with plastic I had left over from the old cover, and made bamboo struts to keep it standing. OK, it's not immensely sturdy, and would blow down in a strong wind, but it's quite well sheltered up at the top of the garden, and will serve the purpose excellently until we can afford a more permanent frame.

This lupin is the most intense indigo and bright yellow - going to look spectacular when it opens completely.


Back to the rockface...
