What a day. I rotorvated my large potato patch. I have a brilliant  Mantis which takes the back breaking work out of this chore, digging trenches. The early spuds are in, it is great to be planting again. I was interuped numerous times by my other half puting up one of the two greenhouses that I bought the other day. They have metal frames with strong plastic windows and measure 6ftX4ft. I have a proper greenhouse but it is not in the kitchen garden so plants tend to die in there because I forget to check on them!
Anyway 'kits' and my husband do not mix. He ALWAYS says 'these instructions are ludicrous'( it would help if he looked at the picture of the finished product, it REALLY helps.) 'This bit does not fit' (he has put it in the wrong place) 'There are not enough nuts and bolts' (He has misplaced them) etc Followed by stamping his feet and having a tantrum. It happens every time, I don't know why I ask him to do it but I think it is good for him to do something physical! 'Look on the bright side' I said, 'the second one will go up twice as fast!' If he doesn't get taken away in a straight jacket before then!
  I have also rotovated and raked two of the raised beds and recovered them with membrane after applying the stinking chicken pooh. Greens go in next week.
By the end of the day we both got into our hot tub to get the feeling back in frozen fingers (I have mild Raynauds and he is on beta blockers for hypertension) and to help with the aches and pains. I could not be fagged to start cooking at 6.30pm so we walked down to our local pub for food. It's ok and fills a hole, the menu reads better than the food eats!
