A bit of mindless fun on a foul day :-)
Pete Stockdale writes
I will refrain from answering your question exactly - but will qualify it with the plants premise. Penstemon cuttings. Leeks Strawberries Cacti Fuchsias X cuttings (name escapes me !) Cacti Fuchsias, pelargoniums, scented pelargoniums Various bulbs, eg Pancratium Nicotiana sylvestris Carob Lots of other overwintering things and seedlings too small to be planted out. Cuttings of wayfaring tree and various other shrubs Butterwort (in flower) Large jasmine, also in flower Ficus mcrophylla A couple of tubs of mixed salad leaves and one of lettuce Two comfortable chairs and a wind-up radio. -- Kay |

Regards Pete www.thecanalshop.com But not everyone has a greenhouse. What's in yours? -- I will refrain from answering your question exactly - but will qualify it with the plants premise. Penstemon cuttings. Leeks Strawberries Cacti Fuchsias X cuttings (name escapes me !) When I didn't have a greenhouse - and I never had one until I married Ray - I'd have had to give a plant related answer (if insisted upon in following your criteria but answering the OP at the same time) as x number of catalogues, desired plants lists, order forms, planting schemes roughed out rather badly, and probably some daft idea for a pond somewhere. All of these would have sculled around my desk for months - maybe a year, nobody ever accused me of being 'tidy' - and would have been supplanted entirely by what I actually did by guess and by God in the end. BTW --- Puter, Hospital id pass and a glass of wine is the answer to the OPs question. Regards Pete www.thecanalshop.com Goodness, it's to be hoped the contents of the desk don't complement one another!! ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics.
