moving mini greenhouse

17 comments


Its no good i thought this morning i’ve got to get the mini greenhouse higher, i can’t bend down because of the Menieres makes me dizzy, so i went into the hallowed place that is hubbys garage to have a root around (sssshhh!) I found an old computer desk that was holding nothing but a couple of petrol cans and an old cassette box (why has he kept that!!!) so i dragged it out of the garage and hosed it down to get rid of the cobwebs (UGH) emptied the mini greenhouse of all my seedlings and lifted the greenhouse onto the desk, its a little bit higher than i’d like but oh so much easier to get into!! I wasn’t using the bottom shelf as it was just too low but now i can.

When i’d finished putting the greenhouse on the desk thought i’d better tidy the garage a bit, so swept out where the desk had been and tidied up the stuff i’d taken off it, wonder if hubby will notice?
Then i had a walk down the garden, sunny but windy!! took some more photos to post on here, am now off to have a cup of tea think i’ve earned one!!

Oooooh, what a brilliant idea! Good for you gal!!! I'm sure the old table is happy to be back in commission again! I did giggle when you wrote what your hubby has kept. Don't all our hubby's keep weird things!!!

I admire you for keeping going with your dizziness. Well done! Hope you enjoyed that cuppa!! ;-)

Love the flowers btw, I'm jealous, my tulips still haven't come out yet, boo hoo!!

Some lovely photographs there S. In fact, so many Goy members take great pictures I wonder what the secret is. A steady hand and a good eye I guess.

Good idea, Sewing. Your plants look good too, lovely colours.

I keep weird things too! So it not just a 'man' thing!! There comes a time when I think...'WHY did I keep that', and out it goes.

I'm of the male species, who keeps things "just in case", and am glad that I do, LOL! Things always get used ......eventually(!?!) This is a great re-use of the computer desk, btw! :-)

~doesn't every man David?I have two who do that!Only sometimes they don't remember what it was for and is it a good one or not!!!!!

Ahhh!!! Now I know why I dodn't use the bottom two shelves on mine! I got a friend to put a bag of compost on the bottowm shelf to give it a bit of weight. Like you, I have seedlings on the top shelf and progressing to the next down.

I also bought a grabber stick for £1.00 and it makes weeding something I can still do. If I get around to it over the weekend, I shall take a photo of it and post it. Only a cheap one, but seems to do the job OK on those smaller weeds that have grown between the gravel and membrane.
