Still Busy

The Great Tit nest in the camera nestbox continues to take shape:

Still a long way to go though.

Yesterday we had 95% blue sky all day. Not over warm at 10C but inviting enough to do a bit of pottering in the garden. I had a shuffle round in the greenhouse to make room for the automatic watering system, getting it ready for a couple of tomato plants in the near future.

This is the AutoPot Easy2Grow kit:

Outside the greenhouse is the 47 litre water tank. I had to drill a hole in the metal base of the greenhouse to take the connecting pipe to the base of the grow pots. The blue gadget in the middle of the base is the valve mechanism which lets more water through when the level goes down. Last year I used it in one of those tomato grow houses. The watering system worked perfectly but there were many problems with the grow house itself.

When turning over old chunks of wood you never know what you will find hiding there:

Not so sunny today and cooler but as more rain is expected over the next two days I may give the lawn a quick short back and sides. It is growing really fast.

  1. Yes John, I noticed just how fast my lawn was growing, especially where my dog has had a wee on it last thing at night (no way Iam taking her out in the dark on the lead, so the lawn has to do.)

  2. Weaver: I managed to get it all trimmed before it got too high.
