Paper Potter and sweetcorn

We bought the Paper Potter at RHS Hyde Hall. It helped make 46 biodegradable pots for sweetcorn that will hopefully go to the allotment. The seeds were last year's, which is not too bad for us!

Frost and Sun

Last year the Acer got badly frosted. We've no idea if a little fleece will prevent that,  but it is worth a try.


Also Tamsin had a go at the ceonothus(sp?).

Strawberries and WiFi

Laid out before planting
The strawberries have had four(?) years so it was time to thin them out.  From a massive surplus I plucked 20 and topped up the container with compost and spare soil to plant them in.
The surplus

Typed in the garden on the garden hot spot, turned on for the first time in 2012.  Not the last time I would imagine.
