DH came across this beauty (on that well known auction site). It is a “Paper Pot Maker”. He decided to get it for me as he thought I would find it useful for all my seedlings in the new greenhouse.
Such a simple idea and the results are fantastic! You wrap newspaper around the body (height according to the line), tuck the ends under then you put it on the base and twist a couple of times and voilà, you have a paper pot!!
Well, here we are in April and I haven’t blogged since January – naughty, naughty!
There is no excuse for my lack of blog posts (a big sorry to all my readers) but I have been busy with major re-design work in our garden and a number of other projects along the way.
I am a keen gardener and like nothing more than sitting in my garden, with a glass of wine and a good book (weather permitting, of course!), but I can only do this if the garden is in good order.
For many years, I have grown all my plants from seed in a tiny walk-in, plastic greenhouse. Over time, I have had to patch & repair the cover and this year I discovered it could be repaired no more.
After much searching of the shops, we found the perfect greenhouse for me, a polycarbonate, sturdy one. DH was kind enough to take me to collect it and left the rest to me.
Just as I had planned to start work on the foundations for the greenhouse, the snow arrived. I could be seen, daily, attempting to dig the frozen clay soil.
After 3 weeks of hard digging, much cussing and questioning my own sanity my beautiful greenhouse was completed!
It is now full of lovely seedlings . . . . . .
A splash of autumn colour!
