Greenhouse repairs and harvesting

​Wednesday 20th December

​Having located the missing panel from my greenhouse and found my stock of glazing clips at home, I came down early to refit the panel. Fitting it was easy but originally there was a stiffening strip along the bottom edge that was meant to stop the panel stretching out of its mount. It had failed to do its job and was missing. I found a length of cane and bent it across the bottom to try and replace it. I think a strip of exterior tape is called for.

Once that was fixed I started harvesting for my Xmas trip visiting family. They are not great veg eaters so a few Brussels sprouts for Xmas dinner and a few leeks was all I had planned. However I also pulled a large parsnip size Mooli as I think my son-in-law may find it similar to the crops he knows from his home in Zimbabwe.
​The following day I grabbed the chance to pop down and tape the bottom edge of the roof panel after cleaning a strip along the edge. I managed the important one just before the rain came down and I went home!
