A bit like an end of season sale.
Its quite warm in our garden now, even after last nights rain. Clear
blue sky with blinding sun.
The forecast is snow for the next few days here on N.Lincs. So better
make the most of it.

It wasn't bad here in Oldham - spent an hour and a bit out putting
wood chip on to paths and tidying up my plot.

Sounds like you are ahead, despite the wet and cold!
We spent the day collecting leaf's, (or is it leaves or leafs) planting
strawberry plants in wet soil, and turning over the compost heaps. The most
urgent jobs in this garden. That took us up to the last light. Lots more to
do. The garden looks a mess.
Can hardly wait 'till spring.

Good luck in Oldham

Thanks!
I suspect my compost heaps would benefit from turning but leaving them
a bit longer won't hurt.

We decided what to do with the frame of one of those mini plastic
covered polytunnels - have shrunk it to about 4ft high and have put
the shelves elsewhere to use as shelves outside for now. Am thinking
that once the cover has been adjusted we'll have a giant cloche that I
could use for outdoor tomatoes to get them off to a good start - or if
the weather is like this year, leave on!
It was one someone was throwing out after assembling and never using
before it blew over so I got it for nothing. I thnk pegging it down
will be the important thing. Am thinking that I might not cut the
bottom of the cover off but make sure it's used to help keep the thing
on the ground.
