Goal for today was not pass/fail but achieved nonetheless. I set out to remove the grass from what was lawn. I'm intending to plant it but it was full of tough grass, crocosmia and the world's smallest potatoes. I ran out of room in my compost pile so I dumped the turf on top of the weeds in the woodland bit as I have a flower mix I can throw on top.
I say woodland it is shaded and has an apple tree and viburnum. I like to think I can have a dream country cottage garden just in miniature.
£18 spent today on pasta bake and other carbs to fuel the digging 🤣 And I randomly fancied a coke because it was sunny and then stocked up on toilet paper and kitchen roll while I was there which is a feat of adulting for me. I have run out more than once since moving home.
Still not sure if anything will get planted as I may be seized up tomorrow (reminds me must take magnesium) and I'm off to sisters for nephew's birthday.
Not pass/fail, this is a hobby.

That sounds like a very productive day.
I get toilet paper and kitchen roll delivered. It's a specialist company and you can go online and change your order if you aren't ready for more or need it earlier than planned. I think the default is a generous box full about every six months. Saves me a lot of bulk carrying.
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Possibly something for when I am not a delivery person myself Cherry. I used to get it subscribe and save from the big river site.
The planting curse has been broken and things have been put in the ground. And in seed trays. Have any of these things been done well? No. But they have been done which is the important thing.

That sounds brilliant, well done 👏
