Bert's BloomersThe Official Blog of the Ten Minute Garden!

The impossible has happened – we have finally managed to recover our greenhouse! This momentous feat occurred last weekend, about eighteen months later than it should have. And, for the first time, it went without incident and nary a cross word spoken! The planets must have been perfectly aligned that day. Or maybe we have just perfected the technique? Either way, the cover is on and next spring, I can begin growing from seed once again.

        As my dotage approaches, the decision to scale back my hobby of greenhouse growing has been made for me. So, what better time to extend my other hobby of re-arranging furniture, to the greenhouse? The main growing bench will stay where and as is. The other benches will be morphed into work and storage space. I might even find room for a small table and chair, a place to sip a cuppa amongst the plants and dream of the gardens that are germinating in the greenhouse. But first, I have to finish re-arranging the living room.
