Same as yesterday at home, but a degree colder in Enfield. :)

Amazing sun rise this morning the sky was all shades of grey red and purple, looking up through the black lines of the bare tree branches was incredible . Thick frost here today and trying to snow with tiny bits just floating around at the mo.

Just a quick & dirty test on seeing the upload button was no longer grayed out. :oops:

Now I just need an on-phone picture resizer.

Got one & changed the picture. :D

The kg website operating software was upgraded yesterday.

I use a mobile phone to access & moderate the website.
Said phone runs Android.
Until today I was unable to attach pictures to posts when using my phone.

Seeing the.picture upload was available I tested it and found i needed to lake.pictures smaller before uploading and then got an app on the phone to do so.

Android phone sounds like something used by robots from Star Wars. Does it bite?
My trusty old mobile just has buttons on it - am I missing something?

It's a phone operating system written by Google and thus independent of both the hardware (phone) manufacturer's and the pervasive Microsoft. Does pretty much everything the Apple iPhone can do.

It means nothing to me either, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, just means that i never can keep up with technology. :)

Have had a couple of days holiday from work, :D
Really enjoyed the peace and quiet today digging and dodging a few showers this afternoon
When the sun came out ...it was lovely and warm
I was the only one there apart from some noisy crows
Have decided two long plots... :)

Happiness is a well-turned plot, donedigging. You've got me inspired to get my broad beans in, under glass for now but the way things are going they might withstand it outside. The way I see it, if they fail, it's no great loss — they can always be resown — but if they're successful then it's a bonus having them so early.
It's noticeably lighter of an evening this last day or two, which I welcome.
Allotment, but little achieved.

Thanks Peter,

I tend to use my phone for making phone calls and texts and as an alarm clock - I'll have to see if it can get Android. I know it can get wi-fi but find it rather challenging without knowing the lingo to try all the different things out.

Anyway, I had two good gardening days when the sun came out, so feel much better. Amazing how it can lift your mood a few hours in the garden.

I've been thinking about having a no-dig year to see how the battle of the weeds goes, but keep forgetting and digging the ground when I've cleared veg out. So it is slightly dug here and there with compost spread on all of it.

It isn't very spring-like today - dark and wet so I might finish auditing my seeds left and collected from last year and plan what I'm planting or leaving out this year.
