Not a very bright day, but these Snakes Head Fritillary lit up my day, I love our native plants and I have tried growing these before with little success, well this year I have them growing everywhere in the garden.

We went across to Perthshire to see the round Great Britain steam hauled train, a lovely sunny day too.



Still some signs of winter hanging on

Welcome Misty( but I have to say that was my least favourite Clint Eastwood film, sorry).

Things moving along slowly but surely(he says with fingers crossed)

Nature puts on a show at Balgavies Loch

Glorious morning up here

My Dad bought a rotavator as the digging got too much for him, later I used to do the work for him, to be honest I don't think much to them . He had clay, which we had double dug by hand and it had a lot of farm manure and old mushroom compost dug into it. If it were mine today I would just keep pil...

Dundee City Council have started laying small piles of earth along some verges and they are full of flower seeds, not all indigenous wild ones sadly, but nice all the same.

Going mad up here, sowing carrots like I know what I'm doing, well they're under fleece just in case.

I've cut the privet hedge before the birds start nesting

I put half my onions grown from seed out into a raised bed, kept some in the greenhouse just in case, been a nice day and I've had 4 hours in the garden getting things tidy and ready if the weather holds out I might sow something.

People go on about pea germination and mice often blamed for eating the seeds, so I have now set them a challenge, just planted some petit pois in a hanging basket in the greenhouse, wonder how that will turn out lol

My tomatoes look like they are peeping through in the propagator and the chillies , having been potted, on are romping along nicely.

Happy Birthday

I'm getting stuff to germinate in the greenhouse and I've put some fleece on the "roots" raised bed, but I doubt I will sow any carrots just yet.
