Morning Compo, as you say, very early to be planting out tender plants like runner and french beans.... The compost in some outdoor pots I have on the terrace, was frozen again this morning and they are showing more frosts around the middle of the week...but I have been potting up hundreds of plants...

Another sharp one out there this morning....

You do make me smile, Geoff...

I think things will slowly slip back to much the way they were, Primrose...greed will always take control.

Didn't want to start a whole new thread but, still thinking of Pa Snip on his Birthday.

I was just wondering to myself, how many pots would Johnboy have....

Aready have a frame of carrots sown and 2 rows of Swift potaoes planted, so getting a few bits in. Have a...

Hope everything is okay, Geoff!
Been and done 3 hours this morning at the Big house, and it was indeed fresh....

So not sure why it affected me like that, it was just like havi...
