I've only just sowed my pepper seeds, oh well, better late than never! We put a new felt roof on my shed at home today, very satisfyingly job!

Blimey, not seen that before! Don't chuck it, play with it (separately), just to see what happens. If it will make it to fruit, you could have some interesting specimens!

Yes, I've had one or two of these in the past, they don't do anything, not even grow from what I can remember.

Had a lovely day today, chain harrowed and rolled the grass meadows..took me back to my younger days...
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Got to be a positive, hopefully it will last long enough to reverse some of the damage being done & already done! I'm enjoying the sunshine though & really pleased to hear officially the allotment is officially socially isolating & counted as exercise! Well for today anyway!

Another investment in confidence for the future, I planted all my potatoes today. Also gave the ones in the polytunnel a bit of a talking to, told them they might be needed at the end of April instead of the usual mid-May. Not sure if the stored ones are going to last us and when we were shopping couldn't buy potatoes or our annual bag of frozen chips that usually tides us over. Going to try not to shop again until May. They seem to be responding to this beautiful weather, all our brews and meals outside today.

We have butterflies and lots of different bumble bees, we sit on a bench by our heather bed for coffee watching all the different insects visiting. Walking the dog I see curlews and lapwings displaying and calling and yesterday there were skylarks singing. Looks like we'll have to enjoy it while we can as it is going to cool down again.
