Saturday 20th January

Weather on Thursday was not good for gardening.
Very cold.
Overnight in greenhouse 3 deg C

 Friday I was out all day just checked the greenhouse.
overnight in greenhouse 3.2 deg C

 Saturday has dawned grey, but dry.
overnight in greenhouse 3.6 C

 I put a bid on ebay for some anemones.

 I set up two more heated trays in the greenhouse so that I can start soon to plant some seeds for early vegetables. The coriander seeds planted last week are starting to come through well.

 I took 8 cuttings off an Allouise Pink chrysanthemum and potted them on for rooting.

 Into the garden with the strimmer and cleared the ground outside the fruit cage where I am going to transplant the gooseberries to.

 Went round the front and decided to remove the arbour beside the front door, it is made of metal and is rusting away. We cut the Jasmine down to suit and might move it if it comes again. I was never very good.

 Good day in the garden today.
