Sunny day for Spring Cleaning

Today is a nice sunny day. Too bad that it's as windy as a hurricane. It's still too wet to do anything outside, so today we're spring cleaning the greenhouse. When we previously did a clean we washed the whole thing. And that's what gave me last year's Lung Infection that laid me out the rest of the year. So this time, no inside washing. Just sweeping and tidy-up.

We cleared out on side of the greenhouse, and swept it all up. The wooden slat on the bottom shelf are supposed to have spacers, but although they look smart, they don't stick very well. So instead we decided to remove them altogether and fit all the wooden slats together. It makes for a stronger shelf, but obviously when you remove the gaps, you need more wood. So I sawed up some spare planks to the same length and fitted them. But I still need a few more.

Once one side was done, we moved all the stuff to the other side. We thought we'd try shuffling things around a bit. The Palette Table which I made many moons ago sticks out into the doorway a bit, so we thought we'd move it to the very back of the greenhouse.

So we played a bit of 3D Tetris to shuffle everything around... and then realised that it wouldn't work. There is a shelf at the very back where we put some of the seedlings and smaller plants. When we water anything on that shelf then the water occasionally runs to the side and drips down. In this case it would drip onside the desk. and cooking area. So we shuffled everything back again. We may as well stick with the layout.

We had intended to also do some seed sowing, but I think that's going to have to wait. Maybe tomorrow.
