    Well done @potted ! You'll be able to bring on plants well in there. Yes rotation is a good idea, but you may need to allow a "messy" space at the end of the garden for the out of season pots to hide. How about a couple of tomatoes in the greenhouse?:biggrin:

    Thank you everyone, it is covered in flower buds so I'll keep it potted near the back door for fragrance and then consider where to put it.

    Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them

    We love our Lakeland airfryer - one big drawer with a removable divider. Bought silicon dishes which are dishwasher-proof to save on the mess.
