Or 2 15ft long ones. I've about 250 anemones to plant out - it's so easy buying the seeds, corms and bulbs - not so easy getting some space prepared for them.
RE: Seven Jobs for the week - SarrissUK - 31-01-2022
I have almost cleared enough space at the back of the garden, it made me think what I could use it for. Well, it's perfect for a greenhouse, so I'm looking for another to add to my collection now! There is one already, about 4x4 ft I think, so that's not nearly big enough. There was a 6x8 footer on Facepalm but by the time I'd measured to check if it would fit (and it would have), it had gone. Exciting

Maybe, but my jobs tend to be random rather than planned for the week. That's why housework never gets done
