Hanneke Apr 2020 10:38pm, 11 Apr 2020 70,550 posts	0 Hanneke I have been ticking off chores today and I even managed to cut most of the grass. Only the paths in the food forest still to do. Garden furniture is outside now, but the pond liner that lived in the back of the van for many years remains illusive. I thought it might have been lurking in an inaccessible space because of the garden furniture... I also managed to at last install the drum of the washing machine that broke down in January 2018 and used it as a fire pit tonight.

Non-runner Apr 2020 6:37pm, 15 Apr 2020 400 posts	0 Non-runner Two of my dahlias have got shoots on them - hurrah. Potted up some seedlings that I think (hope) might be foxgloves and are all over the place, and also some that were growing in the bark around the raised beds and that I think might be hellebores, as I collected seed last year then spilt it. The suspense😱!
Rosehip Apr 2020 6:42pm, 15 Apr 2020 15,658 posts	0 Rosehip I thought I'd kept a washing machine drum for that very purpose Hanneke - but I haven't managed to unearth it in the garage as yet. (did I already post this here or elsewhere, can't remember tired) I nearly trapped the robin in the compost Dalek that I'm using to store topsoil whilst I move stuff around in the garden. Went to put the lid back on it to come inside and Mr robin was happily hopping around eating the bugs
