Thanks Eli & jellibeans, it's a little bit better this morning but yesterday I could hardly get my shoe on:- Managed to hobble down the garden to feed the birds & lift the last of the Lady Christl potatoes for tea. SueA Have you run over a black cat recently Is it any better today?

That must be painful SueA Take care ...
Today I have been tidying the shed - a bigger job that anticipated ! I thought it would be an afternoon's work but it turned out to be much more than that. I will have to finish it tomorrow.

ouch SueA that looks painful, hope it's getting better now. No gardening again, but the extension painting is finished, now to move onto the next bit. I'm saving the garden as it needs a lot of pruning, moving and digging out

Thanks everyone, it's still very swollen but less painful this morning, it has set back my plans for the bare patch in the garden though but that may turn out to be a good thing as I haven't been able to rush it & plant a load more unsuitable things! All I did yesterday was limp down to the greenhouse again & pick more tomatoes & feed the birds, not been out of the house anywhere else though & I'm going stir crazy, will get O.H. to take me out in the car today & tomorrow I'm hoping to go to a plant fair so we'll see how it goes. steve - I think I must have done something wrong somewhere!

I picked two bowlfuls of tomatoes. I pricked out a trayfull of Aquilegia chrysantha seedlings, and several rooted fuchsia cuttings, and also some cactus cuttings. Watered all my succulents in the shelter.

still battling duck weed in the pond, it's been a real problem this year, I was going to reline this month, but have decided to leave until spring next year, that will give me time to cut back and move everything around it

Picked a lovely cucumber.
I cut the leaves off my tomatoes plants and put them all on one side of the polytunnel in the hope they will ripen.

Lifted some more Winston potatoes from a tub & emptied the compost from that onto the space in the border where the rose I'd removed had been & tipped some compost from another tub which had been by the greenhouse into the compost bin. Started drizzling so I went in the greenhouse & tied up the cucumber plants & took off more tomato leaves showing signs of blight & picked all the ripe tomatoes. Carried on sorting out the pots & trays in the greenhouse & threw away a bin bag full of old battered black plastic ones.

Good luck with your greenhouse project account_disabled. Picked some more tomatoes, mowed the lawn & moved a hanging basket along the fence as it had been smothered by the buddleia. Toms. picked last 2 days:-

Hi account_disabled ! Welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy it ... Good luck with your greenhouse. I am also thinking of constructing a sort of greenhouse from Perspex sheets, for my Fuchsias next year.
