The sun shone brightly all day and although the temperature didn't get above freezing I was nice and toasty as I burnt all the old rubbish from last year.
Glorious sunny day.
As well as burning all the old canes and bits of string i managed to finally get the dried out runner beans cut down and also the raspberry canes which added to the fire and kept the flames going a bit longer.
Raspberry canes now in order and ready for new growth.
I also got a little bit of weeding done and some more tidying and sorting out. In all it was a great few hours either spent hauling, standing by the fire, or having a little rest in the greenhouse in the warmth of the winter sun...heaven!!
My lovely chair in my lovely tidy greenhouse!!
Hopefully i will manage to get down the allotment again today....just a few more bits left to burn and then I will be rubbish free for the spring!!

It's all looking very tidy. I should take a leaf out of your book.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how long it will last Jo but it was a very satisfying day!!
DeleteThat really is a tidy greenhouse - I'd be too ashamed to show you ours.
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile Sue...I'm sure it can't be that bad...and I did spend half a day getting it looking like that...I will try to keep it this way thougj...wish me luck!!
Deletesounds like a very productive day. We had sunshine today but way too much snow outside and bitter cold.
DeleteDidn't have any dumplings with that stew yesterday but boy it sounds good.
It was Ann...I didn't have any major plan in place and I think sometimes this is the key to getting stuff done. I often find if I write myself lists I get daunted before I even start!
DeleteMy neighbor and I have been planning to burn some things here to clear away some space for our vegetable gardens, but it's been too cold and windy. We were going to have to have a pretty big bonfire, but the wind would have cause way too much trouble.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Ratty...I have had to wait quite a while for some calm weather so that i could get some rubbish burnt...when a calm day comes round...you don't let it pass you by!
