Harry Potter …

Should be my new nickname. Our mini greenhouse now houses 100 – yes, one zero zero – assorted sunflower, nasturtium, mangetout and pea seedlings, each in their own pot. I only gave up when I ran out of pots of a suitable size that Megan hadn’t savaged; there are still twenty-seven sunflowers and a whole tray of Livingstone daisies waiting in the conservatory.  So I’m not intending to do any gardening this Bank Holiday weekend apart from taking arty photos of the current plants in bloom, weather permitting. No doubt, however, Jon will find something to do (hopefully a few more drills of lettuce, spring onions etc.) as he tries to ignore his cravings for a cigarette. Since he gave up smoking it’s like living with someone with St Vitus’ Dance, so his excess energy has to be channelled into something useful.
