    A chore that has to be done as we shall so be at the end of the season.

    I have two greenhouses so made a start on one on Monday past.

    Also job comes of washing pots so they will be nice and clean ready to start again.

    Has anyone started yet.

    :D Think I will follow that approach as you seem to be successful! :D
    I think I will ask the window cleaner to clean the greenhouse glass too, then I needn't do anything apart from put pots in the dish washer! [​IMG] [​IMG]
