Cutting & Painting Base to Greenhouse

Today's visit consisted of cutting the timbers for the base to raise the greenhouse up to provide another 200mm height internally and as a weight to help keep if from blowing away. 

Do Not buy the One Coat Ronseal Timber Treatment as it does not do what it says on the tin, it's crap! what you see in the video and the photos below is at least three coats of paint.

Strings on the saw horses were replaced to prevent the legs from opening and the timber collapsing and the middle timbers were placed there as somewhere to stand the tin of paint whilst the joists were painted. 

February Plot Tour

The February Plot tour is a little late as I went down to the allotment today the 2nd March which is a Saturday, and my normal allotment weekend day is a Sunday, but it's raining tomorrow and I need to get on with burning as much rotten timber and Hawthorne bush before the end of March as we are not allowed fires between April and September. So a couple of days into march but it shows what's happened between the January Tour and now which is February!.  


I added some footage of what else I achieved after making the video which was half way through the morning after a nice cup of coffee and a 5 minute sit down and break just enjoying the bird song and the quiet of the plot. 

January Plot Tour

I'm going to try and do a Plot Tour midway through each month as I hopefully get Plot 1 under control and hopefully get Plot 1A ready for the 2019 Growing Season
