Full marks for determination Peter, that will be some nice feeling when you can stand back and admire the finished item.
Just think every section you do is one less, i suppose thats a bit obvious really, but just trying to give you a bit of encouragement.

Dear Malk, glad i live where i do if the weathers like that up there at the moment, i really must get up to Scotland one day to see that amazing scenery, not sure what the folk up there would make of me. Jopsy Friday is the big day then, we'll have to think of a special surprise, maybe a bag of lawn...

Dear Jopsy, please do remind us, of when your birthday is, we would hate to miss it.

Clive, did it make any other people cut their grass.
At the end of February i like to fire my mower up, and within half an hour you can normaly hear another couple of mowers running some where in the distance.

Clive what a super update, and as for your last sentence, it's funny how Mums always seem to be right.

Dear Johnboy, you could be right about the seed, but i think there are too many variations to compare one sowing of Derby day with one that is sown on a later date.
I must say one thing though, i think Derby day takes a lot of beating for taste.

Morning Geoff, us blokes need the occasional bargain as much as the ladies do.
And wasn't it nice to see it getting light just that little bit earlier this morning, i suppose we were the only ones up to see it.
And i think the barmy bit is quite appropriate, especially for me.

The best of mornings to you Steve, well for once i'm nearly lost for words, i think all i can relly say is, what a difference a week makes. I take it you had a team of ten coming in and doing a night shift. Joking aside, you really have made the most excellent progress, and what some great fertile s...

Good morning Mike, i agree with Allan on both points here, i think some of these poor winter crops are due to the earlier dry conditions. And as for seed, i can't say i have ever noticed any lack of vigour because of the seed being old, the only trouble i have come across with old seed is bad germin...

Looks like today is going to be just perfect, weather wise, now let's all get outside and enjoy it, whether it's in the garden or just out for a walk taking in a little bit of nature.
This really is the easiest and cheapest ways of getting a much needed lift at this time of the year.

Dear Grock, it could be a lot worse, you could have Lizzie visiting.

Dear Tigger, are you trying to say Jopsy is an iron lady

Evening my dear Grock, glad to see youv'e got rid of that hang-over. Just to cheer you up Grock, i've been busy in my solid greenhouse today, been forcing a lot of bulbs, so been bringing them into the greenhouse, also been sowing a few seeds. Think i will be sowing extra garlic this year, as it see...

Dear Jopsy, not sure what carpel tunnel is, but i hope it soon gets better.
I don't think it sounds as if the splints will go with your other designer accessories.

Take care now.

It would make for interesting coversation, at one's important dinner party, while being praised on the taste of the vegetables, you could explain in great detail, it's all down to the contents of your new compost bin. YUK.

My dear Primrose, i wouldn't get too excited they will put it back into force, just when you need it most.
