2020 Covid-19 Memories

Clare Campbell, Inverleith Allotments
So what do you do with your greenhouse at the end of the growing season? Well here is one idea?

All through lockdown my greenhouse has been my wee Covid free haven. Pre-season it was kitted out with armchair, books and knitting to enjoy the sunny days that were too cold to sit in the garden. These gave way to allotment seedlings and then to tomato plants.

But what to do at the end of the season? I needed a project. Also I had been mulling over how to acknowledge my long suffering neighbours who, living in the tenement flats above me had had to endure the sight of me having fun in my garden and greenhouse all summer long.

Eureka moment! I would convert my greenhouse into a winter palace, a giant light box, in fact, for their amusement. So I enlisted my pals, many of them frustrated skiers and mountaineers, who also were in need of a project, to decorate my winter palace . Here is what they came up with.
