The tease of longer evenings

It's been a very frustrating couple of days. On Tuesady I managed to get a pond liner that was big enough to cover the shed roof and fit it so now it is waterproof which is just as well becuse it lashed down all that night. This was quite a lucky sequence of events because the raw timber had been exposed since the weekend when the previous membrane leaked and had to be removed. By the time I fitted the new membrane the timber had dried out.

The evenings are getting longer but when I get home from work there is only 20 twenty minutes of dusk before it is too dark to work. So I have resolved, this week to plant everything, except the spuds, in the greenhouse. So tonight I will have to get the copompost , trays, card board rolls and pots out of the greenhouse before it goes dark before I start sowing seeds. Then all I have to do is get everything back in the greenhouse in the dark without breaking a leg.

A path to the greehouse and lights are on my "to do" list. The Green house only went up before Christmas and there are so many other things that take priority.
