JamesGardening<p>Made up the frame for the zippy greenhouse over the weekend. I need to get a new cover as I put the frame together so I could measure it. I managed to order one Sunday that getting delivered in the week. Also pictured is my new coldframe in grey. 3 shelves for putting potted plants in when hardening off as I move plants out of the zippy greenhouse. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/zippygreenhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zippygreenhouse</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/coldframe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldframe</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/gardeningmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardeningmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/spring2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spring2025</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/springgardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>springgardening</span></a></p>

JamesGardening<p>Planted up last years Cannas to get them back into growth after work yesterday. I start them early as they take a while to get going and finally produce flowers .

JamesGardening<p>The conifer blue arrow planted Wednesday and the wooden logs which are a replacement job. Had to move one plant as it was pushing up against the previous logs. Added stones underneath to put them on and weed membrane on the side meeting the soil.
