A quick visit

​Having to buy some fencing material for my garden meant I arrived on site on Friday afternoon very late. On the way in I sealed the joint in the Special Needs plot greenhouse. I had expected to seal it with silicone sealant but InExcess did not have anything suitable in stock. They did, however, have glazing sealing tape which I used instead to good effect. Now we just have to float in a screed floor.
I finally managed to make it to my plot to empty the kitchen waste bin into the compost bin. We have replaced the bin we use outside the back door at home after about 8 years or so as it has split. The new one has an inner bucket and a pedal to lift the lid and, most important, a five year guarantee. Let's hope it lasts that long!
I also unloaded a bag of birch twigs that will be useful for the peas when I plant them. I plan to sow some at home in lengths of gutter and plant out the young plants.
I dug up the last of the parsnips as they had started to regrow. Hugh Merret tells me I should bury them on their side to keep them a bit longer. Worth a try!
I also pulled up a Celeriac to sort out a way of preserving them as I still have quite a few to harvest.
