My vice is plants. Honestly, I even try and save the half dead ones on sale ! I buy and propagate more, even when I have no spare space.

Little gem seedlings have just poked their heads through (in pots in the GH)

oh cripes Robo, that sounds horrid. I hope they get you all patched up and comfortable and get you home asap.

Happy birthday Westi! hope you have a great day

They are open, I went to one yesterday:)

I did manage to get the garlic planted out yesterday. It's a milestone moment for me, as it's the first ever thing to be planted in the new spot (previously hardstanding)

yes, and also, lots of hungry Dunnocks!

I'll be transferring my garlic to the main bed this week hopefully (if it ever stops raining) Theyr are a couple of inches high in the troughs I planted them in in early Jan. Am desperate to sow some seeds, but holding back as long as I can!

Oh it was a bitter wind today, absolute brass monkeys!

Happy Birthday Peter!

yes, I noticed the forecast was to be quite chilly tonight. Must remember extra protection for the poor little things that need it.

annoying that you have to do this Compo, but excellent idea all the same

Yep, chucking it down again here, we did have some late afternoon sun, and I got a bit of painting done under the patio canopy. The lawn is a quagmire, I've ever known it to be so soggy.

I ordered my supply from simplyseeds and growseeds last Autumn. They took weeks and weeks to arrive, but I didn't want a repeat of last spring whenI couldn't get anything I wanted from anyone! They are all tucked up in an old biscuit tin awaiting sowing time.
