Petunia

Finished painting the shade onto the rest of the greenhouses today and it has taken most of the day off and on.Cleaned out some of the greenhouse gutters as well and we need to get up and paint them.The aluminium reacts with the galvanised coating causing the metal to be exposed and rust.Painting the gutters is a long,cramped and tedious job.
A few orders in.None very big but OK for the time of year.Cropley house cleaned down ready for the start of the Autumn production.Bought some high melting point grease for the vents in the top block because the new vent motor seems to be struggling.
Becky has been awarded the outstanding student award at her university which I think she is very pleased about.Em is out in Liverpool tonight with her American friends Margaret and Jacob.
Powdery Mildew is a problem on the Dahlias so an ULV treatment is going on this evening.
I ache this evening after being up and down ladders all day dragging high pressure hose and lifting safety cages on and off roofs.This is definitely a young mans game.

Warm and mainly sunny.Light showers this evening.

A bit of musicNo one said it would be easy
