We rearranged the greenhouse(2) today, moving out everything not in a pot or
on a high shelf, took some staging up and re-inserted the pots back
'through' the gaps in the staging, whilst adding strings and sticks and the
like so things aren't flooping about.

We've got a melon I didn't know we had, and an aubergine I didn't know we
had! :-)
(although the melon may not make it, as it had unfortunately decided to grow
itself in a puddle, but the aubergine is pretty healthy looking, and quite
a good size considering it's managed to stay hidden so long!)

Just goes to show, it really did need tidying up and sorting out a bit,
though

A lovely accidental word! Perfectly describes the way plants scramble in great floppy loops ;-)

Sometimes I wish greenhouses had openings at each end - just big enough for
a bulldozer...

Not at all accidental, I'm afraid - probably ought to credit Douglas Adams,
but it's a word I use way more than I ought to.

The mattress flurred and glurried. It flolloped, gupped and willomied,
doing this last in a particularly floopy way

I'm not sure, but I believe this may mean that my melon plants are actually
growing a fine harvest of mattresses.
