Dear OH
I have deliberately held off posting in the hope that I might think of something to say which isn't at my normal anal level.

Re: January Jobs?
As some may have seen by the post I made elsewhere I have been studying seed catalogues. Finding it far far too cold around chest to venture out much, despite thermal layers Have ventured out a couple of times to make our selection of seed potatoes. Ordered 2 bags shallots from Wilko as a experiment...

Re: Mid Winter Bits and Bobs.
OH , I think your point is very valid, and could be said to be proved by the number of community allotment projects one does hear about. However, there are many councils / associations which avoid involvement which is surprising in areas where ground stands fallow for years on end getting overgrown...

Re: Pa Snip has a whinge.

Pa Snip has a whinge.

Welcome aboard Alison
Our conclusion is that saving outdated seeds is just not worth the effort. Have experienced too many failures for the sake of a quid or two,
Parsnips are a prime example, since buying quality new seed each year we get better germination and success.
