Monday 22nd January

Sunday 21st was a wipe out, it never stopped raining until it was too late to do anything.
We went out and got some onion sets and plant labels.
Overnight Saturday/Sunday in Greenhouse was 3 C.
I got notification from Ebay that I had won an auction for 50 x Anemone White Splendour 

 Overnight Sunday/Monday was 3.8 C
I checked greenhouse this morning, everything looking good.
Went to Donaghadee garden centre and got some Shallots, potatoes and Ailsa Craig tomato seeds.

 Came home and planted some of the Ailsa Craig tomatoes and some potatoes in containers. 
I managed to get onto the garden and prepared part of the bed to be used for the onion sets.
