Monday 15th January

A reasonable day today. Had to go out this morning, but when I returned we went to Greenbank Nursery out by Saintfield and bought some plants.
A red Edgworthia Chrysantha.
A miniature Prunus, Incisa, "Koto-no-mai"
Also 2 Dianthus, "Strawberry Sunday" and "Gran's Favourite"

 Brought them home and did a bit of tidying up.
I got the old felt from the roof damage last week taken to the dump.

 Overnight in the greenhouse showed 3.5 C
