Poor Geoff, personally beans on toast not ideal in that situation, but whatever you fancy I suppose. The plainer the better & lots of fluids- not alcohol!!!
How can someone use soooo many pans? Well I assume he did, so just washed the lot!
Re the sweetpeas on GW, yes I was heard muttering 'David wont like that', but up here an early spring sowing is a lot less faff for me. No having to keep over the winter, although I could be tempted this time & do 1 pot......
Kate- re the dahlias. I suppose if they do 'try' I could keep them going, but am just inclined to store them in the porch later on along with daughters' which is growing strongly again. Am removing all flower buds from it to allow some 'strength' back into the tuber. Have just enough room under plant tables in the porch to store the 3 pots, plus the chocolate cosmos which also is in a large pot.
The new coldframe though is going to overwinter the pots of Agapanthus this year. I think the wooden sides, plus extra polystyrene sheets, will be better than the very cold greenhouse. They do normally survive in there ok, plus fleece & wrapping, but this year I may not be able to push back up a slipped roof panel because as have slightly moved an adjacent compost bin, thus making it rather difficult to get a step ladder put up next to the frame- twit, didnt think that one out.
Once the tomatoes are over shall thoroughly clean the greenhouse out this year. I usually remove them by end of September, but lots of fruit still ripening so thought another week+ shouldnt do much harm. I have to admit that the ones on GW last night growing in those relatively small pots looked wonderful. Rather labour intensive though, which I wouldnt want to do.
Off to go & look at my 50ps... J.
