oh look at you go! I think we could definitely use a greenhouse or at least construct something to protect our plants from the elements. It's just been so flipping cold lately. Your basil looks amazing!

Thank you ! It's definitely worth it - this was pretty much the cheapest flatpack greenhouse of the size we needed we could find online. A bit of a pig to put up, but Zak is nicely practical so would find it easy 😁 If the worst comes to the worst, you could just make cloche tunnels out of thick polythene sheet, unfolded wire clothes hangers and stones to weight the edges down.

That's pretty ingenious! What do you think @zakludick?

It would be delightful! Not a bad holiday project methinks? And don't forget my permanent/ but temporary and easy-to-dismantle sheltered braai area. lol :p but for the pants? I think this is actually really quite important. As long as I don't have to do the digging and the planting with my injuries, I can still water and tend to the plants. They don't seem to stand a chance all open to the elements like that. And honestly, having a little love garden like that brings me so much joy. It makes me sad when it dies out every winter. It does amaze me how quickly we get it going again though, but it would be nice to have our plants going strong and not just clinging for dear life. God knows I already murder our inside plants. Especially lilies. I think they're allergic to me 🤦
