Today I feel so happy....

@ Fairygirl - might be worth contacting your local council, ours offers plastic daleks at very discounted prices.

brand new large slanted grit container to grow herb in...

Does it have any holes in the bottom for drainage? If not, you'll need to make some.

Greenhouse base...securing to sleepers?

I think you'd be wise to use the base, as I remember when I put mine up ( on a concrete base on pre existing hard standing) we got ground screws to secure the base to the concrete, so you should be able to do the same onto a brick wall. Do remember though, if you're raising the whole thing to get more height inside, the door will be raised as well, leaving a step the height of your wall to climb over every time you go in and out.

Wow!

Used Compost?

Zap it in the microwave for about 5 minutes to sterilise it, keep covered and use as seed compost.

What has happened???

@ dovefromabove - a reminder that you need a new garden thermometer.

GREAT BIG TWEEZERS? (capitals intentional and reply to Sam's bramble issues)

What has happened???

My sister popped over yesterday - I live on the southern side of Dartmoor, she's on the west.
She said my garden's a good couple of weeks ahead of hers, i.e. most of my daffs are out, snowdrops over, tulip buds showing colour. But I possibly have the advantage of the microclimate of a walled garden, with its granite storage heaters!

Bay tree root eradication

Best way to do it! 

Plan bee

One of the more uplifting news stories... 

Overwintered runner bans

Left the roots in after clearing last year's crop, they've survived the winter and putting up new growth. 

Red rhubarb leaves

I've got a bad feeling about this... 

What can I use as green manure?

Landcress just about to go to seed
