Bedding

We've been away for the weekend, visiting my parents, so there's been barely any garden activity. However, we popped in at the garden centre on the way to Thirsk, and picked up a couple of packs of mixed bedding (to augment the cineraria, et al. I sowed last week). I also grabbed thirty six-foot bamboo canes, to frame the peas/beans once the fleece cages come off, and some more of the excellent thorn- and water-proof gloves we like. Our old ones have lasted about a year, but we've each acquired one split. We'll keep using the old ones for things that the splits don't impinge on, but they were on offer, so we've stocked up.

When we got home today, we've had to spend some time adding waterproof fabric tape to the fleece cages, where the posts have damaged the fabric in the wind. It's rather tedious: hopefully soon we'll have reinforced sufficiently the vulnerable areas.

I keep meaning to create a 'weather' page, with data from the weather station. It's happily churning out statistics, but I need to export some graphs, and the like, to upload. One of these days...
