I am getting to the stage where I can do without a nap in the afternoon and as a result, can accomplish much more. Recently I have been concentrating on gardening. That has ended by my attending to the auriculas. They have had no attention since September. This started yesterday by my making up a special compost and drenching it in Provado which kills vine weevils. It does not do much good to dogs and cats either so the greenhouse is on the forbidden list.
Then today, I removed everything from the two cold frames (the plants have been on an etagere since last summer, They were both thoroughly washed down with Dettol. After that, I set out on the plants, removing dead leaves, repotting with the prepared compost. And Triumph!! no live vine weevils any where. When finished, they were all transported to the cold frames and they will be there all summer. Tomorrow I hope to do the auriculas in the theatre.
Not much time for anything else today but I do have a nice photo of Jerry
