I dropped off 3 bags at a local (not my usual) charity shop last week, and got the 3rd degree about what was in there. The reason I no longer drop off at the usual one, is that they became really fussy and snooty, now I feel like I can't drop anything anywhere, they made me feel embarrassed and like...

my thoughts are that these tiny branches will probably grow more leaves to replace the burnt ones, which will fall off naturally. Hopefully.

I always go mad and have too much! I just try and squeeze it all in the tiny space, the rest go in pots and get in dh's way !!!

its' just so cold still, I can't face spending much time out in the garden, the wind chill is bitter. I have done as much as I can with the seedlings, they are bursting out of the little greenhouse! Nothing is really big enough to plant out anyway, not enough warmth to give them a boost. It's all re...

I've had my hozelock yellow one for over 15 years. It's on a winder drum, and never gets put away in the winter! It hardly ever folds itself over, and has no cracks that I have noticed (famous last words!!)

The catkins at the park are all fallen underneath a maple/acer type tree.

that's what my brain and later the leaf ID app told me! Not sure about the catkins though, but there are loads in the park where I walk.....I'll see if I can find out any more....!

very chillly this morning! I got caught in a thunder/lightning/hail storm yesterday whilst out walking!

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.

I really hope so, it was bitterly cold cycling to work this morning.

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.

OH, I just can’t deal with the classic fm jingle constantly playing!

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.

I have lots of plans, and also 3 extra days off next week. I've seent he forecast....rain every day

gosh, those names are a blast from the past! Remember sprout wine?
