Loads to keep us busy on the plots all winter !!!
Let alone the stuff to do at home to get the fuchsias ready for the 2009 show season !
And the sweet peas im sowing soon will need care.
To be honest i cant think of any time when i dont have work to do in the garden and up the lotties !

A white earthenware sink, they are coming back into fashion now. If they are in good condition they will be worth more than as plant pots.

I wish! Think I'll be lucky if I'm ever at that stage!

Me too! Still plenty of digging, overwintering onions, shallots & broad beans to plant/sow... Then more digging, build some raised beds, tie things up, plan next years layout, drool over catalogues...

A,g.m next month getting the books ready to go to the auditors still other work to do,repairs to the greenhouse etc. in-between i will sit down in my comfy chair with a mug of tea  in front of my wood burning stove and catch up on some reading if i don't fall asleep.

my plot is about 5 weeks old now so i think iwill dig weed and build and then i shall build weed and finish off with a little lite digging (i wish)

I have plot plans for rotation to do when the weather is too cold (for me) this winter. Seed catalogues to peruse  ;D.
Newspaper pots and milk carton plant labels to make.

I intend making some heavy duty cloches/mini polytunnels for next year.
I'll make the frames in the garage. I'll paint them, dismantle them and they will be rebuilt ready to have the poly added when I get to the lottie. Easier for carrying.

I'll be like everyone else frantically using winter to catch up with the jobs that haven't been done.
