Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
sideways rain here too this morning. I hope my outdoor seed trays are still where I left them. I've run out of greenhouse space, so the hardier ones are now outside.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Agreed OH, it has got very chilly today. I second the second jumper! Wet & windy here too, I can't even get in the greenhouse any more, so much stuffed in there! I hope the teeny lettuce & cabbage seedlings don't mind being outside.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Frustrating, weather isn’t it? I spent a good couple of hours in my wee greenhouse yesterday sowing seeds and potting on aubergine, chilli and cucumber seedlings. With radio 3 on, it was a pleasant afternoon.

Re: What a dawn chorus.
I've heard some unusual (for the burbs of west London) birdsong recently in the park. I always forget to take the monocular, so I have little chance of identifying them!

Re: Ivy, Spiders, poop and Birds
a mask is a must when dealing with ivy, all the dust & pollen collected and stored causes havoc withg your respiratory system. I'm sorry I don't have any stump killing ideas, I'd try to dig it out if possible, but right up against a wall, it's probably not. Good luck!

We had everything thrown at us at the craft market today. Glad I took my big coat. Looking forward to thawing out in the bath later.

Re: Bay Bush Maintenance

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

I’ve seen the Billy Connolly show where he describes what happens with this exact drink. . Glad it’s all over and done with Robo.
