    My cuttings of Chocolate Drop are overwintering quite well so far. The sweet peppers went in today. So I popped in a few micro dwarf seeds into the propagator to keep them company.

    Your day (apart from gardening) what took place ? 2025

    Pulled the fridge out, cleaned the drip tray over the compressor and the floor, wiped the top and sides of the fridge. Then repeat with the freezer.
