Greenhouse - The Big Tidy Up ! 🌡πŸ₯’πŸŒΏπŸ…πŸ•·️


I made a start on clearing out the tomatoes , cucumbers and sweet peppers . I am only keeping a couple of each of them to ripen up the remaining fruit .

I have dragged them out in their growing pot/bags and I will empty them onto the African Keyhole Bed where I am growing Butternuts and Pumpkins .  I am hoping the extra bit of compost will give all the Squash a boost !


I spied a Cucumber wandering through the Epies !



😱 Found this poor neglected Agave ....bone dry and shrivelled up . I've given it a good drink and we'll see if I can revive it . 
     It might be too late !  πŸ€”


There is a lot of sweeping out to be done and I have ordered a special brush from Amazon that can get into all the corners .

I am getting all my greenhouse over-Wintering things ready . Insulation roll , polystyrene sheets , newspaper sheets , fleece , lantern and candles ........and a couple of buckets to catch the rain that comes through the leaking roof and door .

It makes me feel so happy to see all my cacti back on the bench .   

   πŸ™‚   Actually this is not all of them ....there are more to be brought back in from the porch .πŸ˜ƒ So this lot are going to have to budge up to make room for them ! πŸ€£πŸŒ΅πŸŒΏπŸ€

                                      See you later , time for lunch !

    1. Well I'm sure we still have some nice weather ahead , but I am hearing that Storm Erin might cause some rough weather for us down here in the far south west in the next week or so . I just like to make sure I'm prepared .
